• WebSphere will programmatically set the java Security properties jdk.tls.disabledAlogrithms and jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms. Default values will be:
  jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=”SSLv3, RC4, DH keySize < 768, MD5withRSA”
  jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=”MD2, RSA keySize < 1024, MD5″
• com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.disallowserveserveletsbyclassname has changed the default value from false to true due to security considerations.
• The java.security file needs to be manually updated to add:
  jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DH keySize <768.

  Adding this line to the java.security file will disable features exploited by Poodle, RC4 (Bar Mitzvah), and logjam vulnerabilities.

• SSLv3 will be disabled by default.
• Recompilation needed for SIP application migrated from WebSphere 7.0 or below to WebSphere 7 With CEA feature pack or WebSphere 8.0 and above.
