Description Martin Perina 2018-05-25 13:42:57 UTC
When adding or reinstalling host to a cluster >= 4.2, set

  ssl_ciphers=HIGH

in vdsm to enable only strong encryption ciphers for engine to VDSM communication.

ok, vdsm-4.20.30-1.el7ev.x86_64

ovirt-host-deploy-1.7.4-1.el7ev.noarch

install, host-deploy:

under 4.2/4.1 cluster:

# cat /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf
[vars]
ssl_excludes = OP_NO_TLSv1,OP_NO_TLSv1_1
ssl = true
ssl_ciphers = HIGH
