Description
Certicom SSL supports the possibilty to disable client initiated renegotiation
JSSE does not support this functionality.

WLS used to use Certicom-SSL. Now JSSE.
Hence there is s a loss of functionality.

Seems as if the needed work is already mostly done by one guy named Neale Rudd (http://wiki.metawerx.net/wiki/NealeRudd)

He is talking about a patch for openjdk that delivers exactly this feature in JSSE.

This is the mailinglist thread:

Suggested release note: ---------------------------------- In Oracle JSSE provider, a new system property, "jdk.tls.rejectClientInitializedRenego", is defined to reject client initialized renegotiation in server side.
