2. In the Connector section for port 443, change the value of ciphers to 128 bits as shown
below:
ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA"
This reduces the workload of the managed device and increases the speed of the streaming
of the packages to it.
IMPORTANT: Setting this attribute instructs the server to offer RC4 encryption at 128b
as the only available cipher suite. The client will comply as part of the SSL negotiation.
However, changing the encryption to RC4 reduces the security of the system, compared to
the default encryption such as AES, and makes it susceptible to being broken into.
3. Restart the ZENworks Server.
