see if it's not V7R1 that has the issues. From what I understand they're
not updating SSL any more on V7R1 even though it's still supported and
behind as far as the required updates that were made at the end of July
for
most SSL processes.

Configuring Your IBM i System Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer
Security (TLS) Protocols and Cipher Suites

Goes into detail on what PTF's you need (even at 7.1) and what Cipher
Suites are considered "weak". We recently had internal, and external,
scanning completed and had to go whole hog to purge these out.
Details on how to config this are in there.

Now that I've added useful information I reserve the right to rant.
"IF" IBM is not enhancing 7.1 to new cipher suites and stuff they need to
announce end of support. The sooner the better. Especially for those
budgeting for next year.

Being purchased by a public company and having to go through SOX and being
behind on cipher suites does not go well.
