Fix Recommendation

Reference section 4.6 of the JBoss EAP 6.3 Security Guide located on the Red Hat vendor's web site for step-by-step instructions on establishing SSL encryption on JBoss.

The overall steps include:

1. Add an HTTPS connector.
2. Configure the SSL encryption certificate and keys.
3. Set the protocol to TLS V1.2 or greater.

Check Contents

Log on to the OS of the JBoss server with OS permissions that allow access to JBoss.
Using the relevant OS commands and syntax, cd to the <JBOSS_HOME>/bin/ folder.
Run the jboss-cli script.
Connect to the server and authenticate.

Validate that the TLS protocol is used for HTTPS connections.
Run the command:

"ls /subsystem=web/connector=https/ssl=configuration"

If a TLS V1.2 or higher protocol is not returned, this is a finding.
