FORBIDDEN -- config update for existing channel did not pass initial checks: implicit policy evaluation failed - hyperledger-fabric

Question

I'm trying to create an application channel for a hyperledger fabric network which consists of:
certificate authority for all participants
TLS certificate authority for ordering nodes and peers
one ordering node
one peer node

# SECTION: Capabilities
#
# - This section defines the capabilities of fabric network. This is a new
# concept as of v1.1.0 and should not be utilized in mixed networks with
# v1.0.x peers and orderers. Capabilities define features which must be
# present in a fabric binary for that binary to safely participate in the
# fabric network. For instance, if a new MSP type is added, newer binaries
# might recognize and validate the signatures from this type, while older
# binaries without this support would be unable to validate those
# transactions. This could lead to different versions of the fabric binaries
# having different world states. Instead, defining a capability for a channel
# informs those binaries without this capability that they must cease
# processing transactions until they have been upgraded. For v1.0.x if any
# capabilities are defined (including a map with all capabilities turned off)
# then the v1.0.x peer will deliberately crash.

First, I create a genesis block with the following command:
./bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsApplicationGenesis -configPath ./testConfigs -outputBlock ./channel-artifacts/genesis_block.pb -channelID mychannel
Next, I create a transaction to create an application channel:
./bin/osnadmin channel join --channelID $CHANNEL_NAME --config-block ./channel-artifacts/genesis_block.pb -o localhost:7050 --ca-file "$ORDERER_CA" --client-cert "$ORDERER_ADMIN_TLS_SIGN_CERT" --client-key "$ORDERER_ADMIN_TLS_PRIVATE_KEY"
Every time I create an app channel, I get the following error:
Error: Post "https://localhost:7050/participation/v1/channels": net/http: HTTP/1.x transport connection broken: malformed HTTP response "\x00\x00\x06\x04\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x05\x00\x00#\x00"
Please tell me what is wrong?

Answer 1

The symptom for my problem was the same:
"Error: Post "https://localhost:7050/participation/v1/channels": net/http: HTTP/1.x transport connection broken: malformed HTTP response "\x00\x00\x06\x04\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x05\x00\x00#\x00"
What I did wrong was to connect to the Orderer on its general listen address and missed to configure the Admin.* settings as described here.
Once I connected to the Admin Listenaddress the osnadmin command worked correctly. The general port serves GRPC while the Admin one uses http(s). I think this explains the malformed error.
