Hello!

I was working on an issue where one of my users was unable to log into Centricity on her workstation. Upon login, she gets the error listed below.

When I browse directly to https://[app server hostname]:9443, nothing appears. However if on the same workstation I browse to it via Chrome, I get to a jboss page (of course after the certificate warning due to it being self-signed).

After some investigation, it appears to have been caused by Windows KB3172605, which is a Rollup that includes some TLS 1.2 and SHA-1 improvements. Luckily, this was installed on only this particular workstation, however I've confirmed that if installed on another that it breaks the Centricity client.

Has anyone else experience this issue with this update? Is there a workaround or fix other than removing the update. The only reason I mention this is that this particular KB update apparently fixes an issue with Windows 7 workstations where Windows Update doesn't run correctly, or takes a whole day to search for updates.

Error occurred in class WebServiceClientBase, method CallWebService

Unable to make service calls: server is down or unavailable. Contact Administrator for assistance. Please check server port configuration; see the installation/upgrade guide for your system for details.

GE put something out about KB 3161608 & KB 3161606 which are part of that rollup KB.

I found a reghack that will fix this issue.

Copy and paste the following to a text file named xxx.reg

Double click the file (Must be administrator)

Select OK.

Fixed.

I created a GPO for this so I would not have to run it on every client install machine.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\KeyExchangeAlgorithms\Diffie-Hellman]

"ClientMinKeyBitLength"=dword:00000200

GE has documented a fix in the jBoss server.xml that should resolve the problem rather than modifying all the clients: https://engage.gehealthcare.com/docs/DOC-226197

Thank you both for your input. It seems the more permanent fix is to modify the XML file on the jboss server, though the reg hack would work. I will make these changes after hours.

The link:

is secure. Is there a non-secure way to access this?
