Ciphers in Domino Directory: Show us the Hexcode in Brackets

It is great that we have all the new ciphers in the domino directory template 10 now. But as every product uses different ways to write the ciphers it is hard to compare them between products. 

e.g.

Domino: ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

OpenSSL: ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256

They are the same but to find this out you need to do manual comparison. 

Not to speek from SSLCipherSpec from releases before 10

SSLCipherSpec=C030009F009D 

Have you tried to find out, which tick- boxes of the new form are behind this notes.ini entry? 

Please make the selection dialog for ciphers look like this:

ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (C030)

DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (009F)

ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (C02F)

DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (009E)

ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 (C028)

DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 (006B)

...

That way it is very easy to compare ciphers using their 4 digit Hex value.

And if one cipher is said to be insecure, it is a matter of one glance to find, if that one is enabled in your environment.
