Tips from an Expert on Controlling Cipher Suite Information

By default, Business Directory displays information about cipher suites that are a part of your data sources. You can control this behavior by editing TDV configuration parameters through the TDV Studio user interface.

To modify the SSL cipher suites setting

1.

Stop the server.

2.

Open Studio > Administration > Configuration.

3.

Locate the Disabled Cipher Suites for SSL Connectors configuration parameter.

4.

Adjust the value.

5.

Sets the cipher suites to disable when creating an SSL connector.

The string should be a comma separated list of cipher suites, that can be fed by the exact cipher suite name used in the JDK or by using a regular expressions.

Default values are ".*NULL.*", ".*RC4.*", ".*MD5.*", ".*DES.*", ".*DSS.*" for eliminating old/insecure/anonymous ciphers.

Removing the string will cause the default JRE settings to take effect.

6.

From the process manager for your platform, shut down and restart all TDV processes (such as the TDV Server and monitor).
