    Now, I'm trying to figure out how to disable DES and 3DES for Pure-FTPd. I changed my TLS Cipher Suite to:
    When I test my server with SSLyze, I still see this weak cipher listed:
    #sslyze --starttls=ftp --regular 162.209.0.20:21

    Hello @grayloon,

    Feel free to open a support ticket so we can take a closer look to determine why those cipher settings are not enacted on your system. You can post the ticket number here so we can update this thread with the outcome.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    we have the same problem running WHM 60.0 (build 26)
    It looks like a bug in pure-ftpd.

    I checked the release notes for pure-ftpd:

    * Version 1.0.43: The -J switch didn't work any more in 1.0.42. This has been fixed.

    The -J switch sets the cipher settings.

    Cpanel is running: pure-ftpd-1.0.42-6.cp1156.x86_64

    Could you open a support ticket so we can take a closer look? It's possible we may need to open an internal case, but we may also address this with the nature of how Pure-FTPd is compiled on a cPanel server.

    Thank you.

    A couple days ago we changed the ciphers in one of our cPanel servers to harden for PCI. Today I'm checking scan results and its still requiring a couple 3DES ciphers to be disabled...which i thought already were.

    I changed the ciphers in WHM (FTP Server Configuration) then checked using nmap via another box. Nothing is changing, even when putting default ciphers back in. What is interesting is that TLSv1.0 is still available as well, even with !TLSv1

    This is the command I am using to check right to the raw IP (no proxy):
    # nmap --script ssl-cert,ssl-enum-ciphers -p 21 123.123.123.123

    I feel like either I'm missing something obvious, or this nmap script is not working right. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Hello,

    You will need to switch to ProFTPd via "WHM >> FTP Server Selection" to meet PCI Compliance at this time due to current restrictions with the Pure-FTPd configuration. Once it's enabled, you can then browse to "WHM Home » Service Configuration » FTP Server Configuration" and remove the TLSv1 entry from the "TLS Protocol" section.

    Thank you.

    Pure-ftp is not applying the cipher list in general. The results of "nmap ... ssl-enum-ciphers" VS "openssl ciphers ..." show different ciphers.

    Is this going to be repaired? Or, is there a workaround in the meantime? Quotas and BFD are kinda important.

    Both the TLS1.0 and 3DES persistence are def PureFTP bugs that are repaired in 1.0.45. The bug/case is CPANEL-11369 to get the cPanel version upgraded or wrapped.

    Hopefully the fix is coming soon :)

    Hello,

    Internal case CPANEL-11369 is open for the consideration of PureFTPd version 1.0.45's inclusion with cPanel. This would help to address the issue where custom TLSCipherSuite values are not applied, resulting in PCI compliance failures. I'll update this thread with more information on the status of this case as it becomes available.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    To update, this is fixed in cPanel version 64:

    Fixed case CPANEL-11369: Update pure-ftpd to 1.0.45-1.cp1156.

    Note that as of PureFTPd 1.0.45, PureFTPd no longer supports the TLSv1 security protocol.

    Thank you.
