SSLEncryptionBitLength_WebServerTypes.T_2
56_Bit_or_higher
Description To specify the level of SSL encryption for providing authenticated and encrypted communication
between clients and servers, select one of the following options:
Auto Negotiate—Enables auto-negotiation of the SSL encryption between client and the
server by using all industry standard encryption algorithms.
NOTE: This option includes weaker SSL encryption algorithm, which reduces the
security.
128–bit or higher—Enables SSL encryption between client and server using the industry
standard 128-bit or higher.
168–bit or higher—Enables SSL encryption between client and server using 168-bit or
higher.
256–bit or higher—Enables SSL encryption between client and server using 256-bit or
higher.
If you select 256–bit or higher an are using Java, the following warning message is displayed:
Selecting a higher SSL encryption enhances the security.
However, the cryptography settings for your virtual machine
environment (JVM, IcedTea)
may require installing the Unlimited Strength Java Cryptography
Extension Policy
Files to permit usage of iDRAC plugins such as vConsole with this
higher level of
encryption.
NOTE
: Using this level of encryption may have import or export implications. For more
guidance, contact your legal department.
