CTL_SSL_CIPHER_LIST - UEM Manager configuration option

Description

The CTL_SSL_CIPHER_LIST option specifies the acceptable and preferred SSL/TLS cipher suites to use for the control session between UEM components. The SSL/TLS protocol uses the cipher suites to specify which encryption and message authentication (or message digest) algorithms to use.

The UEM Manager can request one or more SSL/TLS ciphers, listed in order of preference. The list is forwarded to the UEM Server, which compares it to a list of SSL/TLS ciphers it is capable of accepting, and the first agreed-upon cipher is chosen.
