Java 7 and TLSv1.2 socket

java ssl encryption prtg

I am trying to connect to a web server with encryption. The web server allows only connections using protocol TLSv1.2.

I've modified this snippet from official doc

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.net.ssl.*;

/*
 * This example demostrates how to use a SSLSocket as client to
 * send a HTTP request and get response from an HTTPS server.
 * It assumes that the client is not behind a firewall
 */

public class SSLSocketClient {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    try {
        String host = "172.20.172.106";
        SSLSocketFactory factory =
                (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
        SSLSocket socket = (SSLSocket) factory.createSocket(host, 443);
        String[] protocols = socket.getEnabledProtocols();
        System.out.println("Enabled Protocols: ");
        for (int i = 0; i < protocols.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(protocols[i] + ", ");
        }
        String[] supportedProtocols = socket.getSupportedProtocols();
        System.out.println("Supported Protocols: ");
        for (int i = 0; i < protocols.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(supportedProtocols[i] + ", ");
        }
        String[] goodProtocols = new String[1];
        goodProtocols[0] = "TLSv1.2";
        socket.setEnabledProtocols(goodProtocols);
        protocols = socket.getEnabledProtocols();
        System.out.println("Set Protocols: ");
        for (int i = 0; i < protocols.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(protocols[i] + ", ");
        }
        /*
         * send http request
         *
         * Before any application data is sent or received, the
         * SSL socket will do SSL handshaking first to set up
         * the security attributes.
         *
         * SSL handshaking can be initiated by either flushing data
         * down the pipe, or by starting the handshaking by hand.
         *
         * Handshaking is started manually in this example because
         * PrintWriter catches all IOExceptions (including
         * SSLExceptions), sets an internal error flag, and then
         * returns without rethrowing the exception.
         *
         * Unfortunately, this means any error messages are lost,
         * which caused lots of confusion for others using this
         * code.  The only way to tell there was an error is to call
         * PrintWriter.checkError().
         */
        socket.startHandshake();

        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(
                new BufferedWriter(
                        new OutputStreamWriter(
                                socket.getOutputStream())));

        out.println("GET / HTTP/1.0");
        out.println();
        out.flush();

        /*
         * Make sure there were no surprises
         */
        if (out.checkError())
            System.out.println(
                    "SSLSocketClient:  java.io.PrintWriter error");

        /* read response */
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(
                        socket.getInputStream()));

        String inputLine;
        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
            System.out.println(inputLine);

        in.close();
        out.close();
        socket.close();

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}

Now if I run this code with JRE 8 everything works fine.

This is the output I get

Enabled Protocols:
TLSv1,
TLSv1.1,
TLSv1.2,
Supported Protocols:
SSLv2Hello,

jdk7 should support TLSv1.2, but I don't see it in supported protocols output

PRTG supports 4 ciphers with the high security mode set.

TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

None of these are in the standard distribution of Java 1.7

However, in the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 7 Download it does include TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA

You need to download the unlimited strength zip and replace the local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar files in JRE_HOME/lib/security with the ones from the download.

Edited 02/12/2016:

You also need to enable the appropriate TLS version via the system property:

-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
