SSL 3.0 has been deactivated by default in the JDK 8 java.security file due to discovered vulnerabilities.
However, for hosts that absolutely require SSL 3.0, you can follow these steps to enable the protocol:
-
Stop the applications or services that will be using SSL 3.0.
-
Open <install_dir>/jre/lib/security/java.security in a text editor.
-
Remove or comment out the line jdk.tls.disabledAlgorpthms=SSLv3.
