#48743 RHDS Admin Console enables unsupported Ciphers by default
Closed: wontfix None Opened 8 years ago by nhosoi.

Description of problem:
Setting up SSL/TLS enables ciphers that are unsupported by the
underlying NSS libs. Also, disabling them in the console still results in a
warning them being unsupported.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-console-1.2.12-1.el7dsrv.noarch

How reproducible:
Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup RHDS
2. Enable SSL/TLS as per the Admin Guide sec. 7.4 using the Admin Console
3. Use the default ciphers as part of the SSL/TLS enablement

Actual results:
From /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-ID/errors:
SSL alert: Cipher suite fortezza_null is not available in NSS 3.19.  Ignoring
fortezza_null
SSL alert: Cipher suite fortezza is not available in NSS 3.19.  Ignoring
fortezza
SSL alert: Cipher suite fortezza_rc4_128_sha is not available in NSS 3.19.
Ignoring fortezza_rc4_128_sha

Even after manually turning them of in the Admin Console, it configures:
nsSSL3Ciphers: ...,-fortezza_null, -fortezza, -fortezza_rc4_128_sha,...

resulting in the same errors.

Expected results:
The Admin Console not to configure (either enable or disable) unsupported
ciphers.

Already did :-) If they are turned off in the console, they don't report any errors when the server is restarted. I turned them on, saw the errors, turned them off, no errors.
