CTL_SSL_CIPHER_LIST - UEM Manager configuration option

CTL_SSL_CIPHER_LIST - UEM Manager configuration option

Description

The CTL_SSL_CIPHER_LIST option specifies the acceptable and preferred SSL/TLS cipher suites to use for the control session between UEM components. The SSL/TLS protocol uses the cipher suites to specify which encryption and message authentication (or message digest) algorithms to use.

The UEM Manager can request one or more SSL/TLS ciphers, listed in order of preference. The list is forwarded to the UEM Server, which compares it to a list of SSL/TLS ciphers it is capable of accepting, and the first agreed-upon cipher is chosen.

Values

cipherlist is a comma-separated list of SSL/TLS cipher suites. The following table identifies the list of SSL/TLS cipher suites supported for this option.

The list is in default order, with the most preferred suite first and the least preferred suite last.

Note

As of Universal Agent 6.7.0.0, DES-CBC-SHA is supported only on HP-UX.
 
Additionally, any Agents on HP-UX that accept connections from, or attempt connections to, Agents on other platforms must be configured with at least one currently supported cipher suite besides DES-CBC-SHA. Therefore, those HP-UX Agents cannot be configured only with DES-CBC-SHA in their list of cipher suites.
