Hi All,

I am working on OFJ to allow users to configure cipher-suites to use with

SSLEngine. (https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/34942/).

I am trying to test it by configuring the cipher suites supported by

SunProvider 1.8, for e.g. TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384. (

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html

).

However, I see an IllegalArgumentException exception indicating that the

cipher suite is not supported.

Can you please help me with this issue ?

Here is the stacktrace -->

I have tried to update the JCE policy files to include jars that provide unlimited

cryptographic strength:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8-download-2133166.html

But it did not work out even after my ODL restart (System:shutdown)

Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
