Description

SSL/TLS protocols should be explicitly enabled and then filtered when Ambari starts up.

Currently the following protocols are explicitly enabled:

SSLv2Hello
TLSv1

org/apache/ambari/server/controller/AmbariServer.java:718

 
factory.setIncludeProtocols(new String[] { "SSLv2Hello","TLSv1"});

However the following protocols should be enabled by default:

SSLv2Hello
TLSv1
TLSv1.1
TLSv1.2
SSLv3

Example

 
factory.setIncludeProtocols(new String[] {"SSLv2Hello","SSLv3","TLSv1","TLSv1.1","TLSv1.2"});

Once set, the protocols may be filtered out using the security.server.disabled.protocols property from the ambari.properties file. For example:

Disables TLSv1, TLSv1.1, and SSLv2Hello

security.server.disabled.protocols=TLSv1.1|TLSv1|SSLv2Hello

The availability of a particular protocol may be tested using the OpenSSL s_client facility.

Example: Test for TLSv1.2

openssl s_client -connect localhost:8440 -tls1_2

Note: This does not address the agent-side issue of connecting to an Ambari server where TLSv1 is disabled. See ~~AMBARI-17666~~.
