Step through the following procedures to disable SSLv3:

Discovery Manager (Premises version only)

  1. Stop the Discovery Manager service.

  2. Open the following server.xml file in a text editor:

<Discovery Manager installation directory>\tomcat\conf\server.xml

  1. Locate the Connector element in server.xml file.

  2. Add the following attribute before the closing tag of the Connector element:

sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1,TLSv1,SSLv2Hello"

The Connector element will now look something like this:

<Connector port="27535" maxThreads="200" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true" keystoreFile="../data/tomcat.keystore" keystorePass="changeit" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" maxPostSize="10485760"

ciphers="TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,
TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA,
TLS_KRB5_WITH_RC4_128_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,
TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA,SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA,
TLS_KRB5_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,SSL_RSA_FIPS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
TLS_KRB5_WITH_IDEA_CBC_SHA,SSL_RSA_WITH_IDEA_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA"
sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1,TLSv1,SSLv2Hello" />
  1. Save and close the server.xml file.

  2. Start the Discovery Manager service.

Discovery Agent

  1. Stop the Discovery Agent service.

  2. Open the following server.xml file in a text editor:

<Discovery Agent installation directory>\tomcat\conf\server.xml
  1. Locate the Connector element in server.xml file.

  2. Add the following attribute before the closing tag of the Connector element:

sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1,TLSv1,SSLv2Hello"

The Connector element will now look something like this:

<Connector port="27534" maxThreads="200" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true" keystoreFile="../data/tomcat.keystore" keystorePass="changeit" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" ciphers="TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,
TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA,
TLS_KRB5_WITH_RC4_128_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,
TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA
SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA,
TLS_KRB5_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
SSL_RSA_FIPS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
TLS_KRB5_WITH_IDEA_CBC_SHA,
SSL_RSA_WITH_IDEA_CBC_SHA,
TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA"

sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1,TLSv1,SSLv2Hello"

/>
  1. Save and close the server.xml file.

  2. Start the Discovery Agent service.
