----------------------------------------
Summary: server_encryption_options is not backwards compatible
with 3.11
Key: CASSANDRA-15262
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15262
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Local/Config
Reporter: Joseph Lynch
Assignee: Joseph Lynch
The current `server_encryption_options` configuration options are as follows:
{noformat}
server_encryption_options:
# set to true for allowing secure incoming connections
enabled: false
# If enabled and optional are both set to true, encrypted and unencrypted
connections are handled on the storage_port
optional: false
# if enabled, will open up an encrypted listening socket on
ssl_storage_port. Should be used
# during upgrade to 4.0; otherwise, set to false.
enable_legacy_ssl_storage_port: false
# on outbound connections, determine which type of peers to securely
connect to. 'enabled' must be set to true.
internode_encryption: none
keystore: conf/.keystore
keystore_password: cassandra
truststore: conf/.truststore
truststore_password: cassandra
# More advanced defaults below:
# protocol: TLS
# store_type: JKS
# cipher_suites:
[TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA]
# require_client_auth: false
# require_endpoint_verification: false
{noformat}
A couple of issues here:
1. optional defaults to false, which will break existing TLS configurations for
(from what I can tell) no particularly good reason
2. The provided protocol and cipher suites are not good ideas (in particular
encouraging anyone to use CBC ciphers is a bad plan
I propose that before the 4.0 cut we fixup server_encryption_options and even
client_encryption_options :
# Change the default {{optional}} setting to true. As the new Netty code
intelligently decides to open a TLS connection or not this is the more sensible
default (saves operators a step while transitioning to TLS as well)
# Update the defaults to what netty actually defaults to
