    Hi

    Reading several documents about HMC connection to IBM (Call Home, VPN ) I  found this document:

    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T7000236

    In the document the following is written:

    "After the handshake they negotiate the bulk encryption which depends on the IBM server to which a connection is being made. IBM systems in the SDC use a symmetric 128-bit Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4) encryption or a symmetric 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption."

     

    Now we have customer who only allow 256-bit Encryption,

     

    How do we make sure that the connection is only using 256-bit encryption?
    It is written "depends on the IBM server to which a connection is being made" but no where can I find what servers .
