Hi,

We are running Tomcat 6.0.37 and Java JDK 1.6.0_60
We recently upgraded to JDK 1.6.0_75 and recieved below error at several
places
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Fatal Alert received: Handshake Failure


We debugged and after analysis found that if we remove below 3 ciphers
suits from server.xml
file

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA

SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA


The error is no more seen. I need your opinion in order to proceed with the
changes.
1.What will be the effect of removing these cipher?
2. Found this link on ciphers

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html


The cipher codes I mentioned above have been marked as 'X'.
Most of the cipher codes mentioned in my server.xml are marked as 'X'. So I
am confused as to am I on correct path of removing these problematic cipher
from server.xml or not.

Can you help in answering the 2 questions above?

Thanks for your help in advance.
