Connect:Direct Application Interface for Java - Protocol and cipher suite syntax

Troubleshooting

Problem

When using the Connect:Direct Application Interface for Java 1.1.00 iFix026 and later, does the AIJ support TLS 1.2 and is there anyway to specify a different cipher suite other than TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA?

Symptom

How to specify these parameters to use in C:D AIJ

Cause

Clarification of product usage.

Environment

Connect:Direct Application Interface for Java.

Diagnosing The Problem

Using the correct syntax for the parameter values.

Resolving The Problem

There is not a method in the C:D AIJ classes for setting the cipher suite at this time.

To set the Security Protocol, use the following.

NodeParms np = new NodeParms();

nodeParms.setProtocol("TLS12"); /*[ The " . " needs to be removed between '1.2' ]*/

       np.setNodeName("127.0.0.1;1363");
       np.setUserid(userId);
       np.setPassword(password.toCharArray());
       np.setProtocol("TLS12")
       np.setAppName("Client application")
       np.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
       np.setPortRange("4000-5000,5050,5060,6000-7000");
       Node cdNode = new Node(np);

Other valid values include:
TLS
TLS11
TCPIP
SSL
PSTCPIP
PSSSL
PSTLS

Case can be ignored.
