Due to security constraints , we need to disable SSL protocols to IIB inbound webservices and allow only TLS or higher version protocols.
We ran the below commands to enable TLS in broker and Integration server:
mqsichangeproperties broker_name -b httplistener -o HTTPSConnector -n sslProtocol -v TLS
mqsichangeproperties broker_name -e EG_NAME -o HTTPSConnector -n sslProtocol -v TLS
Through a mock service with HTTP Request node and its protocol set as SSL, we tried invoking our exposed HTTP services. Expected outcome is that the invoked service should not accept SSL request. But the service still accepted SSL protocol request and processed it.
As per IBM documentation,by setting the ssl protocol to TLS,we still enable the SSL versions of protocols
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYKE2_7.1.0/com.ibm.java.security.component.71.doc/security-component/jsse2Docs/protocols.html
Kindly advise on blocking SSL altogether and allow only TLS or higher. |

From the very page you quote:
| Quote: |
Protocol Comment
SSL Enables TLS v1.0, v1.1, and v1.2 protocols. (See Note)
Note
For SSL and SSLv3 parameters, the default protocols that are enabled are changed as a result of security vulnerabilities, as described later in this topic.

So setting "SSL" on an HTTPRequest node will result in the use of TLS.
Try the test again with SoapUI or curl.
Also, and depending on how secure you want to be, you shouldn't be accepting TLSv1.0 and should be a bit wary of TLSv1.1
