We have discovered some issues with connecting to SSL servers from the database in iRecruitment. This applies to;

• Background checking when the background check server uses SSL
• Resume generation when the application server uses SSL
• Posting adverts when the job board uses SSL
• Posting adverts when using a custom stylesheer and the application server uses SSL
• Geocoding when the geocode server uses SSL.

In each of these scenarios, iRecruitment will fail, and in many of the cases, the error will be masked, so it will not be clear why it fails. IRC.D customers may take patch
5039181 to resolve this issue. This patch will look at your server side wallet to pull out the SSL certificates. It is important to make sure that that is set up correctly, or the patch will not resolve your issues.

Our test_irc.sql script at metalink note 338342.1 has been updated to use the new code for the internal network test (for an SSL enabled application server), and for the background checker.

EDIT: removed a couple of items from the list, because they use an SSL connection from the middle tier, not from the database. This issue is just with the database network connections.
