Simplify Crypto Cipher Management in HMC

Currently HMC just offers a list (in a not auto scaling window) of available ciphers without any further details to which TLS version they might belong. It would be a great simplification if I can just select that I want to use TLS1.3 and TLS1.2 and then if required further narrow down the ciphers for only those two TLS versions and not go through the whole extensive list of all ciphers most probably not even applicable for the TLS versions I want to use.


Additionally: This feature must then be applicable for all TLS connections from the HMC hence it's then applicable for HTTPS traffic via Web-GUI, LDAPS as well as for OSA-ICC and the connection between HMC and SE.


This would be greatly aligned with IBM's target towards crypto agility.

    I support this idea. But it's still necessary for our use case that single cipher suites can be selected or deselected, as also mentioned in the idea.
