This morning I let Firefox update itself to version 39 and now it refuses to connect to OpsCenter 7.6.1.2 due to weak ciphers.  Here's the error: An error occurred during a connection to <serve...

    D,

    Type "about:config" in the FireFox address box.

    Click through the "promise to be careful" warning.

    In the Search box along the top of the config menu, enter "security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha" and press Enter.

    It should find the entry config. The value will be "true". Double click it to change it to "false" (see attached screen cap).

    Repeat the same process with the "security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha" key.

OpsCenter 7.7 is now much more secure!

No key problem out of the box.  Not sure if the Audit Controls/FIPS Compliance was just NetBackup, or it also extends to OpsCenter.

I was running 7.6 and could no longer access OpsCenter Web Page once we upgraded our FireFox, but once we upgraded to 7.7, it worked just fine.

Something about 256 versus 1024, blah, blah, blah.  Not sure, but the upgrade was definitely easier than figuring out all the details.
