Last updated on MAY 25, 2023

Applies to:

JDBC - Version 12.1.0.2.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

When using JDBC thin driver ojdbc8.jar with JDK 1.8 to connect with SSL (using wallet by orapki) to an Oracle  Database 12.1.0.2, the connection fails with the following error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported ciphersuite SSL_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
at sun.security.ssl.CipherSuite.valueOf(CipherSuite.java:237)
at sun.security.ssl.CipherSuiteList.<init>(CipherSuiteList.java:82)
at sun.security.ssl.SSLEngineImpl.setEnabledCipherSuites(SSLEngineImpl.java:2038)
at oracle.net.nt.TcpsConfigure.configureCipherSuites(TcpsConfigure.java:339)


SQL*Plus with SSL works on the same client.

 

sqlnet.ora includes:

WALLET_LOCATION =
  (SOURCE =
  (METHOD = FILE)
  (METHOD_DATA =
  (DIRECTORY = <DIR>\client_wallets)
  )
  )

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (TCPS,NTS)
SSL_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION = TRUE
SSL_CIPHER_SUITES = (SSL_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA)
