Description

How to disable SSL v3 and enforce TLS 1.2 for HTTPS connections on the Foglight Management Server
Resolution

For Foglight 5.7.1+

Modify the following file in the Foglight Management Server (FMS) Host

<FMS home>/server/tomcat/server.xml

Edit

sslProtocol="TLS" sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1,TLSv1,SSLv2Hello" bindOnInit="false"

to

sslProtocol="TLS" sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2" bindOnInit="false"

Note: Changes should not be needed on Foglight 5.9.8+ installations as above changes are already the defaults.

For Foglight 5.6.x

Modify the two files listed below:

<FMS Home>/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server_full.xml

and

<FMS Home>/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server_https.xml

Then remove the attribute sslProtocol and add the attribute sslProtocols as follows (confirm spelling, leave other elements and attributes as is):

<Connector ... sslProtocols="TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2,SSLv2Hello" ... />

The cipher list can be adjusted as you seem fit, for example

ciphers="TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA"
