HTTPS Properties and Logs

The HTTPS SSL/TLS versions and ciphers properties specify the SSL/TLS protocol versions and ciphers for HTTPS connections to Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance's BUI and the RESTful API service. The default values are TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2, and their associated ciphers. Because of security issues, TLSv1.0 is not enabled by default; TLSv1.0 can be enabled for backward compatibility.

The list of available ciphers changes based on the selected versions. Some selected SSL/TLS protocol versions and/or ciphers are removed after software upgrades if they are no longer supported. To avoid service unavailability, keep the default settings unless otherwise needed or as instructed by Oracle Support.

The HTTPS service also controls the session timeout property, which specifies the number of minutes until the browser automatically logs out of the session after user inactivity or if the user navigates away from the BUI. The default value is 15 minutes; the minimum value is 1 minute, and the maximum value is 120 minutes. This replaces the session timeout property previously located in the user preferences area of the software. Note that the CLI idle timeout property is unaffected, and it is still located under user preferences.

The HTTPS service events log is available in appliance-kit-http:default.
