By default, <tomcat_dir> is located at: - (Linux): /opt/IBM/UCRelease/server/tomcat
- (Windows): C:\Program Files\IBM\UCRelease\server\tomcat
- Find an XML element named <Connector> with the attribute SSLEnabled="true".
- Within this element, find the attribute:

Replace with the attribute:
sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2".
- Apply these changes by restarting the server.
