= SSL =

the current SSL configuration only supports TLS 1.2 with strong ciphers. This is compatible out of the box with java 8.

Java 7 and 6 clients:
- must enable TLS 1.2 support in clients: "-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2"
- if using the oracle JDK enable stong cipher support, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
