Sounds like Brad should be writing up an RFE! Seems reasonable to me that it should be able to figure out to drop back to an older level without being coerced.

Brad,

I'm not sure of all the under lying changes, but I had a few issues, most was working at TLSv1.3 or TLSv1.2.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] SSL API Issues after latest CUM PTFs on V7R3

But shouldn't the system, when connecting to another server, see that they are using 1.2 and use that? Or does the latest CUM turn off anything except 1.3?

It's similar to another issue I had with a client. They were getting an error connecting to a server. We got a list of all the ciphers the server had available and we had most of them matched on the IBM i, minus a few older ciphers. But we still had to enable a couple older ciphers manually to make it work.

You'd think with a choice of 10 or more that match the system could chose to use one of those instead of the old outdated cipher the server had (which was there mainly for older systems).

Brad,

I had to do the same.
IBM has a tech doc on this.
It actually disables TLSV1.3, which Is the new default with the latest
CUME PTFs.
Not all our network devices support TLSV1.3, thus had to revert to
previous settings.
*TLSV1.2
*TLSV1.1
*TLSV1

TLSv1.3 could a simple change for some, but for us it will a while.

Well, my client had a call with IBM.
IBM had them change the system value QSSLPCL from *OPSYS to a list:
*TLSV1.2
*TLSV1.1
*TLSV1

And that seemed to fix their specific issue. Doesn't make sense
(well, it does). I have a feeling their trading partner was using
older version of TLS. That should have been easy to tell. Seems like a bandaid fix.

I have a few customers that seem to be reporting
an
issue
with
the
IBM
SSL
APIs after applying a recent PTF group when
using
GETURI
(HTTPAPI
also
reports the same issues) communicating with a
web
service.

Also from tests using cURL and PHP on the IBM i
the
error
cannot
be
reproduced, neither can it on the PC using
Postman,
etc.

Randomly they are receiving the error:

415 - Peer not recognized or badly formatted
message
received.

If the standard SSL APIs are used RC is normally
-16
if I
recall.

One customer was able to work with a trading
partner
and
they
did a
trace
on their end and tracked it down to the "Hello"
communications
from
the
IBM
i during SSL negotiation.

What they saw and explained was something like this:

"...When everything is working fine we have
noticed the
server
hellos
are
super small …376 bytes which is an indication of
TLS
session
reuse.
Then
there is an attempt to do TLS reuse with a
different
proxy
or
backend
server and it fails which is likely this TLS
FATAL
illegal
parameter
error. The NEXT server hello is much larger,
3586
bytes,
because
the
TLS
session is trashed and has to start over.


It then works for a while with the little server
hello's
doing
session
reuse ... until a proxy or backend server gets
switched
and
it
blows
up
and
starts all over..."


So, when this error is reported on the IBM i
seems to
correlate
with
what
they see on their end where the TLS session is
"trashed".


My suspicion is that a recent PTF broke this,
since it
worked
for
years
previously and after the PTFs this behavior started.


I have the customer contacting IBM to see when
they can
find
with
all
this
information, but I am just curious if anyone
else is
experiencing
this
issue and what they have found.


Thanks.
