Description

Some customers have requirement to only allow TLS connections for communication and disable SSL connections. So they want to do know how it can be achieved in EMS server.

Issue/Introduction

Disabling SSLv2 and SSLv3 ciphers

Environment

ALL

Resolution

According to EMS documentation, to allow only TLS connections, it is needed to build a list of TLS ciphers with java names using ssl_server_ciphers option in tibemsd.conf file. Instead building a list of TLS ciphers, set ssl_server_ciphers following way to disable SSLv2 and SSLv3 ciphers:
                                ssl_server_ciphers      = !SSLv2:!SSLv3
It can be tested this using sample program (tibjmsSSL.java) provided in EMS_HOME.
