What is the correct JBoss EAP 6.0.1 cipher-suite c

Because of the attention that logjam and the website https://weakdh.org/ (Logjam: How Diffie-Hellman Fails in Practice) has received in recent days, I decided to harden the SSL configuration on my JBoss EAP 6.0.1 system as described here:

13.2.5. SSL Connector Reference: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6/html/Administration_and_Configuration_Guide/SSL_Connector_Reference1.html

Cross referenced to here: http://www.coderanch.com/t/613062/JBoss/configuring-SSL-Https-Jboss

The relevant portion of my standalone.xml is included in obfuscated form below:

     <connector name="https" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https" 
    socket-binding="https" secure="true">  
    <ssl  
     key-alias="**********"  
     password="**********"  
     certificate-key-file="/var/**********/**********.jks"  
     protocol="TLSv1.2"  
     cipher-suite="TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AE_256_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA256,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_SHA,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_SHA256,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA256,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_SHA,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_SHA"  
     />  
    </connector>

The protocol restriction is working but the cipher-suite attribute has, as far as I can tell, no effect. I have reduced the list down to just two suites but the list returned by JBoss on port 8443 is always the same. I have tested the system against Qualys SSL Labs and the list of cipher suites returned includes numerous weak of ciphers not included in my list.

 Cipher Suites (sorted by strength; the server has no preference)
 TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 (0x4)   WEAK     128
 TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA (0x5)   WEAK     128
 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0x2f)     128
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0x33)   DH 768 bits (p: 96, g: 96, Ys: 96)   FS   INSECURE     128
 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA (0xc011)   WEAK     128
 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0xc013)   ECDH 571 bits (eq. 15360 bits RSA)   FS     128
 TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0xa)     112
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0x16)   DH 768 bits (p: 96, g: 96, Ys: 96)   FS   INSECURE     112
 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0xc012)   ECDH 571 bits (eq. 15360 bits RSA)   FS     112

Update: I tried adjusting the configuration via the CLI in the hope it might do something different:

 /subsystem=web/connector=https/ssl=configuration/:write-attribute(name=cipher-suite, value="TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA")

which then outputs (corresponds also to the new standalone.xml):

 [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=web/connector=https/ssl=configuration/:read-resource(recursive=true,proxies=false,include-runtime=true,include-defaults=true)

 }

insists that the other cipher-suites are still active:

Apparently, there is some guidance on this topic here: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/661193 (Disable weak SSL ciphers in EAP 6) Alas, I have no access to that, as RedHat's policy would seem to put security of the application server and the Internet in general behind a paywall. Sigh.

Can anyone confirm this issue and better yet, offer advice for a resolution. Short of putting it behind a reverse proxy (my plan B), does anyone have a working configuration? Thanks.

Since neither the JBoss mailing list nor the Stackoverflow crew has any feedback, I am chalking this up to a bug in that JBoss version. I have resolved it by upgrading to Wildfly 8.2 and configuring with the instructions provided and it works as expected.

I guess it was a bug in an, admittedly, older version of the server. For posterity, this is the configuration of the SSL listener for wildfly:

 <https-listener name="https" socket-binding="https" security-
  realm="SSLRealm"      
  enabled-protocols="TLSv1.2"     
  enabled-cipher-suites="TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, etc."/>

A corresponding security-realm might look like:

<security-realm name="SSLRealm"> 
    <server-identities> 
      <ssl > 
        <keystore
     path="/var/mysite/ssl/mysite.jks"
     keystore-password="******"
     alias="mysite"
     /> 
      </ssl> 
    </server-identities> 
  </security-realm>

We are using jboss-6.1.0 and resolved the issue by adding

SSLHonorCipherOrder="On" 
ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5,SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA"

to server.xml , i.e.

<Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" SSLEnabled="true" 
           port="8443" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
           scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" 
           keystoreFile="${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/XXXX"
           keystorePass="XXXX" sslProtocol = "TLS"     
           SSLHonorCipherOrder="On" 
           ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5,SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA" />

I think long term solution will be is to upgrade to one of the latest JBOSS AS.

Got it working with the following attributes for ssl element inside https connector:

protocol="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2" 
cipher-suite="TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA"
