ciphers vcenter/hosts

[khaliqamar]

I want to know which cipher is being used by vcenter and esxi.

ESXi and vcenter version :5.5 U2

entry in sshd_config

#ChrootDirectory none

Ciphers aes256-ctr,aes128-ctr

MACs hmac-sha1

openssl s_client -cipher LOW -connect <ip address of ESXi>:443

CONNECTED(00000003)

25892:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:s23_lib.c:188:

openssl s_client -cipher LOW -connect  <ip address of vcenter>:443

CONNECTED(00000003)

27482:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:s23_lib.c:188:

It is giving this error.

So is there any way i can confirm the current ciphers.

no, its not what i mean.

why it is not showing any cipher when i check through command line.

showing connected and then error?

are these ciphers are not enabled by default?
