On V7.1 and *NETSECURE does not appear to be an option for QAUDLVL. LIC trace I have used before and remember seeing the cipher name listed there. I can start a trace to see what we are using before turning off RSA_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA and then get rescanned.
Thanks Rob

Ciphers is one of those things that it is critical to know what version of the OS you are running.
There are two parts:
One, what ciphers do we support?
Two, what ciphers are actually consumed?
This is how they relate. Let's say you had a cipher called *EASILY_HACKED. Your auditors may want you to shut that one down. But you may have a concern if some vendor or something might be using that. So that's where the second question comes into play.
Now, from the 10,000 foot view, there are ways to see both.
Going back to your post...
You had a question if your PCI scanner calls it DES-CBC3-SHA while IBM may call it something else, like RSA_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA.
The red flag I see from your scanner is CBC3. I would think that it should be 3DES-CBC so your concern is probably valid.
Some google searching for DES-CBC3-SHA shows hits but shuts right down if you add "IBM i"

Our PCI external scanner send us the issue below, requesting us to remove
cipher DES-CBC3-SHA. Our list of ciphers in QSSLCSL (also below) does not
show this cipher being used. Would anyone know if the list IBM uses is the
standard name others would use for the same cipher? Or is there another
place for me to look for the ciphers we are using other than the QSSLCSL
list? (p.s. we do still have to allow for TLSV1 as one of our external
vendors has not removed that yet – planned for April of this year)
Thanks

Title SSL Medium Strength Cipher Suites Supported
Synopsis:
The remote service supports the use of medium strength SSL ciphers.
Impact:
The remote host supports the use of SSL ciphers that offer medium strength
encryption. SecurityMetrics regards medium strength as any encryption that
uses key lengths at least 56 bits and less than 112 bits, or else that
uses the 3DES encryption suite. Note that it is considerably easier to
circumvent medium strength encryption if the attacker is on the same
physical network. See also :
https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2016/08/24/sweet32/
Resolution:
Reconfigure the affected application if possible to avoid use of medium
strength ciphers.
Data Received:
Here is the list of medium strength SSL ciphers supported by the remote
server : Medium Strength Ciphers (> 64-bit and < 112-bit key) TLSv1
DES-CBC3-SHA Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=3DES-CBC(168) Mac=SHA1 The fields above are
