SSLFactory should not enable cipher suites that aren't supported
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-3278
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3278
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 0.8.6, 0.8.5, 0.8.4, 1.0.0
         Environment: OpenJDK on debian squeeze
            Reporter: George Cristea
            Priority: Minor


The socket creation (server or otherwise) in SSLFactory.java calls [setEnabledCipherSuites|http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLServerSocket.html#setEnabledCipherSuites(java.lang.String\[\])] with the values specified in EncryptionOptions.java:

{code}
public String[] cipherSuites = {
    "TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA", 
    "TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA"
};
{code}

The call to [setEnabledCipherSuites|http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLServerSocket.html#setEnabledCipherSuites(java.lang.String\[\])] fails on systems that don't have [Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-6-download-429243.html] because AES256 is not supported.

To avoid installing the unlimited strength policy file the code in SSLFactory.java should call [getSupportedCipherSuites|http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLServerSocket.html#getSupportedCipherSuites()] to find out which of the suites specified are supported.

Thanks,
George
