Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/20546 has been resolved.

Build : Satellite 6.3.0 snap27

I able able to use the exposed parameters

I don't see the SSL parameter in /etc/httpd/conf.d/05-foreman-ssl.conf anymore.
Is this expected?

puppet::server::passenger::* are settings only for the puppet vhost. The foreman vhost itself doesn't expose the SSL protocols or ciphers. For that we rely on the Apache wide defaults. They can be overridden using the apache::mod::ssl_{cipher,protocol} keys in hiera.

In hindsight we should have used undef as defaults in the puppet vhost (rather than explicit values) but here we are now needing duplicated values. Given the puppet passenger setup is deprecated and only used on Puppet 3 we're unlikely to fix this. Puppet 4 uses puppetserver which is a standalone Java server and uses a different format to specify ciphers and protocols.

It might be good to verify the puppetserver ciphers are secure as well. The protocol is limited to TLSv1.2 by default, but I'm not sure sure if the ciphers allow the best available ones.

On puppet 4 with snap30
