Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3278:
-------------------------------------------
Thanks for the bug report, George. It sounds like you have a good handle on
this, can you submit a patch?
> SSLFactory should not enable cipher suites that aren't supported
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-3278
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3278
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.8.4, 0.8.5, 0.8.6, 1.0.0
> Environment: OpenJDK on debian squeeze
> Reporter: George
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.8.7
>
>
> The socket creation (server or otherwise) in SSLFactory.java calls
> [setEnabledCipherSuites|http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLServerSocket.html#setEnabledCipherSuites(java.lang.String\[\])]
> with the values specified in EncryptionOptions.java:
> {code}
> public String[] cipherSuites = {
> "TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA",
> "TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA"
> };
> {code}
> The call to
> [setEnabledCipherSuites|http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLServerSocket.html#setEnabledCipherSuites(java.lang.String\[\])]
> fails on systems that don't have [Java Cryptography Extension (JCE)
> Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files
> 6|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-6-download-429243.html]
> because AES256 is not supported.
> To avoid installing the unlimited strength policy file the code in
> SSLFactory.java should call
> [getSupportedCipherSuites|http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLServerSocket.html#getSupportedCipherSuites()]
> to find out which of the suites specified are supported.
> Thanks,
> George
