      Backports

        Description

        Setting `-Djdk.tls.enableRC4CipherSuites=true` adds the following RC4 based ciphersuites back to the default enabled JSSE ciphersuite list:

        * TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA
        * TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA
        * TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA
        * TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA
        * SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA
        * SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5

        This system property will only have impact from the JDK 7u101 and JDK 6u115 releases. By default, RC4-based ciphersuites are not in the default enabled list. They were removed in the JDK 6u101 and JDK 7u85 releases.
