Error description
After enabling SSL, 3rd party tools may report the availability of a set of ciphers when probing a Tivoli Storage Manager's SSL ports. Tivoli Storage Manager clients and servers use a set of ciphers that are not determinable by 3rd party tools, and the set that may be shown by 3rd party tools are not the set of ciphers which are actually used. A change will be made in an upcoming release to show a more restricted set of ciphers to 3rd party tools. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: Tivoli Storage Manager server version 6.3.3.0 and higher Initial Impact: Medium | MDVREGR 6.3.3.0-TIV_5698MSV | Additional Keywords: TSM zztsm63 gskit ssl ssl2 sslv2 cypher
