[jira] Commented: (QPID-6) Need to make SSL options configurable

["John O'Hara (JIRA)" <qp...@incubator.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-6?page=comments#action_12438677 ] 
            
John O'Hara commented on QPID-6:
--------------------------------

Actually, SSL contains a lot of cipher suites.

We should make the server warn when a weak cipther suite is selected by a client.
We should also make the server negotiate down a list from strongest to weakest.

Some regions of the world still bar strong crypto, so this should be a warning in the server log, not an error.

> In both the client and broker, the SSL support lacks the ability to configure basically anything. 
> We need to be able to allow the user/administration to configure the certificate, keystore and so on. 
> On the broker, look at org.amqp.blaze.server.protocol.AMQPFastProtocolHandler line 97. From there trace into the org.amqp.blaze.ssl.BogusSSLContextFactory which is the class that hardcodes stuff in a way that is very useful for a dev environment! 
> Basically the task in this jira is to make this whole area fully configurable.
