Hi,

tested Confluence and JIRA against https://weakdh.org/sysadmin.html

Both are affected. 

Tried to add the cipher attribute to the SSL-Connector in server.xml. 

After that Confluence's Sidebar was hidden an the possibility to edit documents in attachments was gone. 

How did/do you fix that issue? 

Cheers, 

Mario

You can change the Attribute within the Apache and leave the Tomcat be.

Its never a good idea to run a tomcat directly.

Always use an Apache as Proxy.

What does this have to do with Atlassian? Shouldn't this all be configured in Apache?

Is this behaviour related to Apache Tomcat, too? -> "After that Confluence's Sidebar was hidden an the possibility to edit documents in attachments was gone. "
