IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

AIX ftpd to use ciphers that need ECDH key exchange

To use FTP in a secure way, the ftpd daemon may use openssl ciphers (FTPS). But modern TLS 1.3 ciphers provided by openssl 1.1 using ECDH key exchange are not possible to be used with the ftpd. These new ciphers should be supported by the ftpd.

    This is a valid customer request that we are considering for a future AIX release.

    We need one of this ciphers:

    1 TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 TLSv1.3 0x13,0x02
    2 TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 TLSv1.3 0x13,0x03
    3 TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 TLSv1.3 0x13,0x01
    4 TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 TLSv1.2 0xCC,0xA9
    5 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 TLSv1.2 0xCC,0xA8
    6 TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x2C
    7 TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x24
    8 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x30
    9 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x28
    10 TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA384 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x73
    11 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA384 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x77
    12 TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x2B
    13 TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x23
    14 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x2F
    15 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x27
    16 TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x72
    17 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA256 TLSv1.2 0xC0,0x76

    The last 2 strings are the hex-code-identifiers of the ciphers.
