Applies to:
Oracle WebLogic Server - Version 10.3.6 and laterInformation in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
An application deployed on Weblogic 10.3.6 is making a call to secured webservice which requires 'TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256' cipher for a successful handshake.
Weblogic 10.3.6 is running on JDK 1.7 with JSSE enabled so TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 protocols are supported.
According to the following document "TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256" cipher is only available for TLS 1.2 protocol or later :
Link : https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html
When we force Weblogic to use this cipher we see the following errors in the logs :
Log says "TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256" is not supported and hence the handshake fails.
Enabling JCE did not help either.
