Question

What are the default cipher suites when running TN3270 with native SSL?

Answer

For TN3270, if you specify ENCRYPTION DEFAULT for a specific TN3270 port, the following cipher specifications, in the order listed, are used for SSLv3 and TLSv1 negotiated connections: 

 cipher_spec                  Telnet Display Abbreviation
 --------------                 -------------------- 
 SSL_AES_256_SHA                     A2          
 SSL_AES_128_SHA                     A1

All SSLv2 cipher specifications supported by System SSL are used for SSLv2 negotiated connections.
