Cause

The following are weak ciphers that need to be disabled.

TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256

TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

 

Resolution

1) Locate the OpenSSL name using the following website. 

https://ciphersuite.info/cs/

TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256  - ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256

TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 - ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 - AES128-GCM-SHA256

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 - AES256-GCM-SHA384

 

2) Using the OpenSSL name, update the VRTSatlocal.conf file. 

/var/opt/VRTSsfmh/sec/root/.VRTSat/profile/VRTSatlocal.conf

From:

"SSLCipherSuite"="HIGH:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SSLv2:!RC4:!SHA:!DES:!3DES:!AES128-SHA256:!AES256-SHA256"

To: 

"SSLCipherSuite"="HIGH:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SSLv2:!RC4:!SHA:!DES:!3DES:!AES128-SHA256:!AES256-SHA256:!ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:!ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:!AES128-GCM-SHA256:!AES256-GCM-SHA384"

 

3) Restart the xprtld process. 

# /opt/VRTSsfmh/adm/xprtldctrl stop
# /opt/VRTSsfmh/adm/xprtldctrl start

 

4) Verify that only secure ciphers are being used.
