title: How to enable SSLv3 in Java 8u91?
body: <p>This question has been asked <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28236091/how-to-enable-ssl-3-in-java">before</a>, but the suggested answer does not work in the latest Java runtime engine.</p>
  
  <p>How do you enable SSLv3 (to access an old Web site that will never be updated by the manufacturer - specifically, a now-discontinued Dell DRAC 5 card in an older server) in Java? SSLv3 has been disabled since update 31, but in the past could be re-enabled by editing the java.security file.</p>
  
  <p>In update 91, this method does not seem to work any more. Is there a new method to do it, or do I have to downgrade to an earlier version of Java?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update as requested</strong>: the method that has worked since update 31 is to edit the java.security file (in /lib/security). This file contains a line</p>
  
  <p>jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3 ...</p>
  
  <p>The solution that used to work was to remove SSLv3 from this line (or to comment out that line completely). In Java 8 update 91, removing SSLv3 or completely commenting it out no longer seems to have any effect.</p>
