Romain Manni-Bucau commented on GERONIMO-6793:
----------------------------------------------
I'm still hesitant - not to say rather not for - to 1. #6792 is different since
most of the time this one will work but ciphers are often very finely tuned and
can break more easily (on the apps I did review it will break in ~15%of the
cases unintentionally which is high enough to be bothersome for such a small
change whereas having a good default breaks in 0 case and works in 100% of
cases). Agree on 2 (while smtp is not hardcoded and it depends the protocol
used ;)).

> Key: GERONIMO-6793
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-6793
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: mail
> Reporter: Richard Zowalla
> Priority: Major
>
> Check and discuss, if it is a good idea to enable all cyphers in TLS/SSL
> protocol handling in MailConnection.java
> Some cyphers are deprecated for good reasons and shouldn't be used.
> This enhancement might possibily include
> * Allow users to specifiy cyphers via properties (custom factory is already
> possible)
> * If we have no user defined cyphers available, fallback to the JVMs default
> cyphers.
>
> This is a follow up issue raised from the discussion on the dev mailing list,
> see
