vRealize Hyperic (Tomcat 6) – ERR_SSL_WEAK_SERVER_EPHEMERAL_DH_KEY

| 0 comments

vRealize Hyperic 5.8.4 has the default configuration for Tomcat 6 of encrypted connection parameters. Using the latest browsers Chrome and Firefox can thus collide with the message “Server has a weak, temporary Diffie-Hellman public key”. Fortunately, this can be quickly remedied by improving the “Connector” section in the file serwer.xml. Described by me change can be implemented in both versions, installed on a Windows server and the installed as vRealize Hyperic Appliance.

The settings file is in the directory /opt/hyperic/server-current/hq-engine/hq-server/conf/ (appliance). Open server.xml and edit section Connector, the correct settings:

<Connector port="${server.webapp.secure.port}" 
          executor="tomcatThreadPool" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
         emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true"
         scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" 
         keystoreFile="${server.keystore.path}"
         keystorePass="${server.keystore.password}"
         truststoreFile="${server.keystore.path}"
         truststorePass="${server.keystore.password}" 
         ciphers="TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,
               TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,
               TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,
               TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA"
         sslProtocol="TLS"
         protocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2"                               
         URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

After write config restart the server.
