Disabling TLSv1 & TLS1.1 - Enabling TLSv1.2

[#1]

Hi guys,

A few cipher suites have been flagged as vulnerabilities, I have proceeded to disable them in the ambari.properties config file although the result is a cluster with cut communications.

I have found this link where a member mentions he edited the source code and it was successful.

https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/6093/ambari-server-210-how-to-enable-tlsv12-for-the-por....

I need to disable TLSv1 and TLS1.1 and ENABLE TLSv1.2

Am I able to edit the source code after the software has been installed or does this need to be done before the install?

Also..I can't seem to locate where any of the source code for Ambari is..If someone could point me in the right direction ti would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Vipin Rathor

I looked up the bug as suggested below, although it's restricted for internal development.

For the record I have the following version of OpenSSL installed: 1.0.1e-fips

Hello @L V,

Please make sure that Ambar Server is started with Oracle JDK and not any other JDK. Second, please make sure that all the Ambari agents are using Python 2.6 to start (this can be seen during Agent restart command). There have been some known issues around this which were fixed by using right JDK and right Python library.

Hope this helps !

Hi @Vipin Rathor

I can confirm that Ambari Server is starting with Java Oracle:

- Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)

- Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

Ambari agent on the other hand is using Python 2.7.X.

My OS is RHEL7, considering it is very similar to Centos 7..Hortonworks recommends v2.7
https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.2.1.1/bk_Installing_HDP_AMB/content/_software_req...

So should I downgrade or is the problem elsewhere?

Kind regards,

@Vipin Rathor

Turns out you need to explicitly force it in the /etc/amabri-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini file.

Example:

[security]

force_https_protocol=PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2

@Vipin Rathor I am facing the same issue of agents losing heartbeat, even though the version of ambari being used here is 2.5.0.

Please suggest.

[#7]

@Neha Nirmal Have you tried using "force_https_protocol=PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2" in ambari-agent.ini?

[#8]

@Vipin Rathor

Yes, Added this property on one of the server that had agent file. Still it was also not able to communicate with the ambari-server.

[#9]

I am also facing the same issue after updating "force_https_protocol=PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2" in ambari-agent.ini.

Agents are not communicating with server.
