      Description

        The JDK-8043202 fix in CPU 15_03 disabled RC4 based ciphersuites by default. It's a good step but it's causing issue for legacy applications.

        We need to introduce a JDK implementation specific system property to allow RC4 suites. I suggest that we limit this property to JDK 6u and 7u releases
