Workarounds and Mitigations
IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify areas that
enable the SSLv3 protocol and take appropriate mitigation and remediation
actions. The most immediate mitigation action that can be taken is disabling
SSLv3
To disable SSLv3 in all versions of IBM eDiscovery Analyzer, perform the
following steps.
1. Stop the IBM eDiscovery Analyzer server.
2. Make a copy of the jetty.xml file. This file is located in the config
directory in the location where IBM eDiscovery Analyzer was installed (on
Windows the file will be in C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\eDiscoveryAnalyzer\config
by default, and on AIX it will be in /opt/IBM/eDiscoveryAnalyzer/config by
default.)
3. Open the original jetty.xml file (as located in the previous step) in a
text editor.
4. In the file, locate the following line:
<New class="org.mortbay.jetty.security.SslSelectChannelConnector">
5. Then locate this line within the scope of the "New" node located in the
step above:
<Set name="Protocol">SSLv3</Set>
6. Change this line to be:
<Set name="Protocol">TLSv1</Set>
7. Save the jetty.xml file and exit the text editor.
8. Start the IBM eDiscovery Analyzer server.
The steps above will disable SSLv3 and force the TLS protocol to be used in
all HTTPS communications with IBM eDiscovery Analyzer.
