Description

The TLSProtocols parameter in the web.xml file allows you to define the TLS protocols that will be supported by FTPS and PlatformServer SSL and applies to Internet Server. The valid values are: TLSv1, TLSv1.1, and TLSv1.2. By default, any TLS protocol is allowed. Before changing this parameter, make sure that all FTPS andPlatform Server clients and servers support the defined TLS protocol. This parameter applies to FTPS(FTP over SSL) and Platform Server SSL connections only. HTTPS connections use the parameters in the server.xml SSLEnabledProtocols parameter.

Environment

All supported environments

Resolution

Make sure to backup the existing xml files before making any changes. The application server must be restarted after saving any changes.

To restrict TLS protocols that will be supported by FTPS and PlatformServer SSL to TLSv1.2 only, update the TLSProtocols parameter in the <install folder>/server/webapps/cfcc/WEB-INF/web.xml:

        <context-param>
                <param-name>TLSProtocols</param-name>
                <param-value>TLSv1.2</param-value>
        </context-param>

To restrict TLS protocols that will be supported by HTTPS connections to TLSv1.2 only, update the sslEnabledProtocols parameter in the connector found in <install folder>/server/conf/server.xml file:

sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2"
