I just noticed that the Get database parameter(64;<>vtCurrent_SSLCipherList) 
seems to return a default value of:

AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH

That doesn't seem correct especially since I am running 4D v16 R6 and it was my 
understanding from the release notes (see below) that RC4 is disabled by 
default.

RC4 ALGORITHM DISABLED
The RC4 algorithm has known security issues and is now deprecated in 4D Web 
Server. All RC4 ciphers have been removed from the default cipher list and the 
“!RC4” pattern has been added to the updated cipher list to explicitly prohibit 
it.

The simple code example I am testing is:

<>vtCurrent_SSLCipherList:=""
$Cipher:=SET DATABASE PARAMETER(SSL cipher list;"")
$Cipher:=Get database parameter(64;<>vtCurrent_SSLCipherList)

After I execute this the value <>vtCurrent_SSLCipherList equals 
AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH

Am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks,
Mike McCall
