How to disable weak ciphersuites for a SSL secured webservice
by Wolfgang Moser
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hello there at JBossWS,
I'm developing for a WebServices application that runs on
JBoss 4.0.5.GA with JBossWS 1.0.4.GA
We got managed to setup JBoss as well as the deployed
WebService to only allow SSL connections (with user
authentication).
Unfortunately we don't see a way to disable all the weak
ciphersuites (like DES40, RC4_40 or standard DES) for that
SSL secured webservice, so that the server acts in a way
that it will never accept such weak ciphersuites on the
initial SSL handshake.
I did already check out:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1983
but was not able to configure the ciphersuites accordingly
(this included JBAS-2785). I wasn't unable to check out,
if these settings would change anything on WebServices,
since JBoss doesn't start due to a null pointer exception
(see attachment). As some debugging reveals, this is
because the member "securityDomain" within:
org.jboss.security.ssl.ServerSocketFactory
seems to not get initialized.
Any hints on how to become able to select or to configure
the ciphersuites being accepted from our SSL enabled
WebServices application would be appreciated much.

Wolfgang Moser

Hello there at JBossWS,
(please excuse me for sending this message twice, it seems
I didn't format my subject line correctly, so the message
wasn't put through onto the forum)

We got managed to setup JBoss as well as the deployed

ciphersuites (like DES40, RC4_40 or standard DES) for that
SSL secured webservice, so that the server acts in a way
that it will never accept such weak ciphersuites on the
