"TLS/SSL RC4 Cipher Suites Information Disclosure Vulnerability" Dell OpenManage

If you have vulnerability scanners flagging systems for RC4 related vulnerabilities, check your Dell OMSA version. Versions earlier than 8.x are configured with weaker protocols, as seem in the server.xml in \program files\dell\sysmgt\apache-tomcat\conf

OMSA 8.x

You can test cipher's with openssl. The example below is RC4-MD5. The format of available cipher commands in openssl is different than the tomcat configurations above. You can run "openssl ciphers" to get the list.
