WebSphere "IBM End user tried to act as a CA"

When i tried to access a secured web services i get the next error:

org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Connection has been shutdown: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: com.ibm.jsse2.util.h: End user tried to act as a CA

at org.apache.axis2.AxisFault.makeFault(AxisFault.java:430)

at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.SOAPMessageFormatter.writeTo(SOAPMessageFormatter.java:83)

at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisRequestEntity.writeRequest(AxisRequestEntity.java:84)

at org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.EntityEnclosingMethod.writeRequestBody(EntityEnclosingMethod.java:499)

the CA in this case is Entrust company.

after some hours , i found the next article that helped me to solved it out , and this way i understood i am not alone here.

the fix is described here:

IBM End user tried to act as a CA - United States.

summery:

update the java.security file , set the

ssl.TrustManagerFactory.algorithm to use IbmPKIX insteaf of IbmX509 .

this article gave me the clue that its somthing with entrust CA as well
