PM25277: CIPHER SETTINGS NOT POSTED IN WAS.ENV FROM COM_IBM_DAEMON

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

1. The cipher list selected at panel "SSL certificate and key
management > SSL configurations > WAS00Manager/DefaultIIOPSSL
> Quality of protection (QoP) settings" is saved to XML only,
It must also be set to property
com_ibm_DAEMON_claimSecurityCipherSuiteList
using a list of SSSL's 2-character values and placed in
was.env.


2. The native code must be modified to set the cipher suite list
using com_ibm_DAEMON_claimSecurityCipherSuiteList.


3. Native code changes are needed to safely recreate the SSSL
sockets if "Dynamically update the run time when SSL
configuration changes occur " is selected.

When items 1 and 2 are fixed, this is automatic for
new sockets.
Old sockets might just need to be closed so that the clients
reconnect and new sockets are created according to the updated
socket attributes.

* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0                                 *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Changes to SSSL setting may not         *
*                      take effect in the Daemon.              *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
WebSphere Application Server 6.1 and 7.0 did not have the
capability to change the SSSL security level setting to
something other than default value.

When a user changed the setting it was written to
security.xml, but did not take effect in Z Daemon.

Problem conclusion

The code was changed to allow the default SSSL security level
to be changed to a value other than LOW. The value can be
changed through the Administration console or wsadmin.

Users should be aware of SSSL behavior. SSSL is used for orb
related communication. Therefore, when a client makes an RMI
call to server on an lpar, it must first talk to the Daemon.
The Daemon will return to the calling client the orb handle to
the requested server.

This means that the client and Daemon must use the same
security level. Because of this, this means that the client,
Daemon, and server must all use the same security level in
order for this communication to take place.

APAR PM25277 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.19 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
