I am trying to setup Jenkins Continous integration and deployment to WebSphere. WebSphere Version is 8.5.5. I have deployed WebSpehre Deployer Plugin and and test connection to Websphere is successful. How ever, when the build is completed in Jenkins, upload of archive is failing. Here are things I did so far to trouble shoot.

1. Telnet connectivity from Jenkins to WebSphere Admin Console on HTTP/HTTPS/SOAP ports works fine.
2. Added WAS Self Signed certs for JRE/lib/cacerts file.
3. Test Connection from Jenkins successful.
4. Validated /etc/hosts file and entries are valid. No Mismatch.

When Jenkins is trying to upload archive, I see the below error in jenkins.log. Host Name is indeed correct. I have searched all through the forums and read FAQ and Wik and did all the steps suggested. Still getting the below error. Any help here is appreciated.

• i followed the instructions from this URL as well to see if that helps to resolve the problem and still no luck.
