Overview

With vCenter 8.0 Update 2, OpenSSL works only with Diffie-Hellman parameters compliant to NIST SP 800-56A and FIPS 140-2. For URL-based patching or file-based backup of vCenter 8.0 Update 2 systems, FTPS servers in your environment must support the following ciphers: OpenSSL Cipher Suite Name AT-TLS Cipher Suite Name Hexadecimal Value DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA 39 DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA 38 AES256-SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA 35 EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA 16 EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA 13 DES-CBC3-SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA 0A DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA 33 DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA 32 AES128-SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA 2F

Workaround

Make sure your file servers are FIPS compliant.
