> The internal implementation of SSLContext caches SSLSession(s). These sessions are for a particular combination or peer host and port. When a TLS handshake completes successfully, the session is then stored in this cache. If/when subsequent handshake attempts against the same host/port combination happens, using this same SSLContext instance, then the internal implementation triggers a session resumption, which is allowed by the TLS RFC. During session resumption, the client then uses the pre-shared key from the previous successful handshake and sends it as part of the `ClientHello` message.
>
> One other part of the TLS handshake is the `server_name` extension. The client sends a `SNI` in the handshake which the server side can either reject or accept. To facilitate this matching on the server side, the `javax.net.ssl.SNIMatcher` can be configured on the (server side) `SSLParameters`. Setting of `SNIMatcher` is optional.
>
> If a successful handshake session (that was cached by the client) used a SNI name which the server accepted, then this SNI name is sent as part of the session resumption `ClientHello` along with the pre-shared key. The current issue is that, during session resumption, on the server side, if the `SNIMatcher` is no longer present, then the server rightly aborts the session resumption, but still ends up sending the pre-shared key extension as part of the `ServerHello` message. The client, upon seeing this pre-shared key extension in the `ServerHello` considers that the session resumption succeeded and ends up using that pre-shared key to derive the early secret. On the server side though, the server has already rejected this resumption request and thus when the client next sends data, the server will no longer be able to decode the data and will fail with `javax.crypto.AEADBadTagException: Tag mismatch` as noted in the JBS issue.
>
> The change in this PR, removes the pre-shared key extension data from the `ServerHello` message, when the server side notices that the session resumption is being aborted.
>
> A new jtreg test has been added which reproduces the issue and verifies the fix. Existing tests in tier1, tier2 and tier3 continue to pass with this change.
