Message: RSA premaster secret error. ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=08001

Question

I'm trying to connect to BigSQL on a BigInsights on Cloud cluster from an iPython notebook on Bluemix Spark as a service.

My notebook looks like this:

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

with open('certificate', 'w') as f:
    f.write('''-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-----END CERTIFICATE-----''')

!rm truststore.jks
!keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias biginsights -file certificate -keystore truststore.jks -storepass mypassword -noprompt

host = 'ehaasp-xxxxx-master-2.bi.services.bluemix.net'
user = 'biadmin'
pwd  = 'xxxxxxx'
url  = 'jdbc:db2://{0}:51000/bigsql:user={1};password={2};sslConnection=true;sslTrustStoreLocation={3}/truststore.jks;Password=mypassword;'.format(host, user, pwd, cwd)

df = sqlContext.read.format('jdbc').options(url=url,
         driver='com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver', dbtable='GOSALESDW.SLS_SALES_FACT').load()

The exception I receive is:

Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o111.load.

I get a similar error when trying to connect using Hive 2.0 jdbc.

according to this [answer](https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/206325/how-to-fix-this-ssl-error-javaxnetsslsslkeyexcepti.html), it would seem that use unlimited jurisdiction policy files need to be installed on the spark service. — Chris Snow, Jun 07 '16 at 07:39

I see that unlimited jurisdiction policy file needs to be installed on the spark service under java directory as per the instructions from the link you found. Under spark service tenant on bluemix user do not permission to create/browse java directory.(lock down)

n [4]:
!echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/local/src/spark160master/ibm-java-x86_64-80
In [5]:
!ls $JAVA_HOME/Security/
ls: cannot access /usr/local/src/spark160master/ibm-java-x86_64-80/Security/: No such file or directory
In [6]:
!touch $JAVA_HOME/Security/policydummy.txt
touch: cannot touch '/usr/local/src/spark160master/ibm-java-x86_64-80/Security/policydummy.txt': No such file or directory

This has been noted as a requirement and will be reviewed for further investigation.

Thanks, Charles.
