Changing the Acronis Access Tomcat SSL Ciphers

Changing the ciphers:

This procedure is necessary only if you wish to use a custom set of SSL ciphers. You might want to do so to support the web interface on Internet Explorer 8 or the Acronis Access Desktop client on Windows XP but It is not recommended. Changing the ciphers might expose your server to vulnerabilities and is generally unsecure.

1. Navigate to your Acronis Access Tomcat installation folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\Access\Common\apache-tomcat-7.0.55\conf).
2. Make a copy of your server.xml file before editing it.
3. Open the server.xml file.
4. Find this line: SSLCipherSuite=""
5. Replace the contents between the two quotation marks with the ciphers you wish to use.

   Note: If you wish to support an unsecure version of Internet Explorer 8 or the Acronis Access Desktop client on Windows XP, enter the following:

   "ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+AESGCM:RSA+AES:RSA+3DES:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!MD5:!EXP:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS"

   e.g.: SSLCipherSuite="ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+AESGCM:RSA+AES:RSA+3DES:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!MD5:!EXP:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS"

6. Save the changes made to the server.xml file and restart the Acronis Access Tomcat service.
