RE: V7R1 is not supported anymore (at least for SSL ciphers)

Rob,

Done that.

My SHA384 search returned 2 PTFs, one which was V7R1.
However, very old (2013) and probably not related.

SI45912 - CCA - CSNDPKX fails with return reason code 8/72 for ECC key

IDK. You might want to try clicking on the link I posted and try the search yourself.
Or does your company not allow you to use a browser to search the internet?

Rob,

What was the V7R1 PTF that your SHA384 search revealed?

First of all, I could only use 50% of those links. The others went to an
IBM "Our apologies" website.
Perhaps that is why Brad asked "Does this fix add newer ciphers?" instead
of stating a fact.

On 7.3 I followed the recommended steps and in there I see:
...
YA ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA384
...
I do not have access to a 7.1 machine, with or without current PTFs.

I did a search of all PTF cover letters at
http://www-912.ibm.com/a_dir/as4ptf.nsf/as4ptfhome

a search for ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 was futile for all releases.
A search for SHA384 did turn up a 7.1 PTF. No further information was in
there to indicate that it was the right SHA384 cipher.
