Use specific TLS chipers on HTTPS connection

Sverre Moe

I have added ciphers to the Connector in our conf/server.xml configuration as I wanted to limit TLS to 256-bit ciphers of AES. Our Atlassian Jira instance is using RC4_128 with SHA1 and ECDHE_RSA key exchange. The certificate supports 256-bit keys.

Adding the ciphers did not help. It is still using the RC4_128 algorithm.

<Connector SSLEnabled="true" acceptCount="100" clientAuth="false" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" keyAlias="alias" keystoreFile="/
home/jira/.keystore" keystorePass="*********" keystoreType="JKS" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyo
te.http11.Http11Protocol" scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="TLS" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" ciphers="TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, T
LS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA" />

The ciphers where taken from:

Hi, I found in this site that if you want to disable weak encryption ciphers, you should add SSLCipherSuite="ALL:!ADH:!SSLv2:!EXPORT40:!EXP:!LOW" to your connector.

Cheers

Will try it out the next few days. Also adding !SSLv3

Sverre Moe

Since we are running SLES 11, OpenSSL does not support TLS, so we still need SSLv3 enabled, but I reckon Jira uses Tomcat which does support TLS.

Using SSLCipherSuit="kEDH:ALL:!kRSA:!ADH:!RC4:!LOW:!EXP:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!AESGCM:@STRENGTH"

openssl ciphers -v 'kEDH:ALL:!kRSA:!ADH:!RC4:!LOW:!EXP:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!AESGCM:@STRENGTH'
DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=Camellia(256) Mac=SHA1
DHE-DSS-CAMELLIA256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=DSS Enc=Camellia(256) Mac=SHA1
DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1
DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=DSS Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1
EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=3DES(168) Mac=SHA1
EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=DSS Enc=3DES(168) Mac=SHA1
DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA128-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=Camellia(128) Mac=SHA1
DHE-DSS-CAMELLIA128-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=DSS Enc=Camellia(128) Mac=SHA1
DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA1
DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=DSS Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA1

I would also like to disable AES-128 and only use 256-bit.

My new Connector configuration

This SSLCipherSuite should use only the following cipher suites from openssl listing:

openssl ciphers -v 'EECDH+AES:!aNULL:!eNULL:!RC4:!DES:!3DES:!DSS:!SSLv2:!SSLv3'

If I try to use AESGCM instead of only AES I get the following exception when trying to access Jira
