PM76425: CUSTOM CIPHER SUITE LISTS FOR DAEMON NOT REPRESENTED IN ADMINSTRATIVE CONSOLE QUALITY OF PROTECTION (QOP) PANEL

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

A user Adds or Removes cipher suites from the QoP for an SSSL
Repertoire and saves the changes.  The panel is found at:
SSL certificate and key management > SSL configurations >
<NODEName>/DefaultIIOPSSL > Quality of protection (QoP)

Upon returning to the QoP panel, the cipher suite list does not
show the changes previously saved, as if the save was not
successful.  However, the was.env and security.xml have been
updated with the changes.

Local fix

Manually alter/define
com_ibm_DAEMON_claimSecurityCipherSuiteList in the Daemon's
was.env

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
If a WebSphere Application Server z/OS customer logs into the
adminconsole and attempts to alter the enabled cipher suites,
these changes may or may not occur successfully.
Here is the adminconsole breadcrumb trail:
SSL certificate and key management > SSL configurations >
<NODEName>/DefaultIIOPSSL > Quality of protection (QoP)
The customer may notice that cipher suites they tried to
enable, still show as disabled. Or cipher suites that show
disabled, could be enabled.

Problem conclusion

Code has been changed to ensure that the high level cipher
suite names displayed in the adminconsole will corresponed
with underlying SSSL cipher suite selections.
