Re: HTTPAPI and Ciphers on 7.1

I guess another option would be to switch to using node/php/python for the data exchange. If I recall correctly they can be configured to use any encryption method and do not have to rely on the system supported ciphers.

But Steve's solution is the best - get the heck off that old release!

You gotta get off that POWER5 Spencer. New machine or go to the cloud.

Or stick some sort of proxy server in front of it.

Subject: HTTPAPI and Ciphers on 7.1

We have an existing relationship with a vendor where we exchange info with using HTTPAPI (ver 1.4). They are updating their security to use TLS 1.2 and 256 encryption.
Our Power5 is stuck at OS 7.1 with no virtually no chance to be upgraded.
I inherited this process so I don't fully understand it so I wanted to run it by you experts to verify we may need to find another system to communicate with them.

Our QSSLPCL is:
*TLSV1.2
*TLSV1.1

Our QSSLCSL is:
*RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
*RSA_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
*RSA_AES_128_CBC_SHA
*RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA

The error I get when trying to communicate with them is:
(GSKit) Peer not recognized or badly formatted message received.
ssl_error(415): (GSKit) Peer not recognized or badly formatted message received.

They say they are using openssl's 1.1.0 definition of ciphers matching HIGH.
They did give me a file of their ciphers and there wasn't an exact match but these were the closest:
SRP-RSA-AES-256-CBC-SHA
SRP-RSA-AES-128-CBC-SHA

I was expecting a different error message if it was just our ciphers not matching. Regardless, is there no hope to get this working?
