Description

Expected Behavior

When GRPC_SSL_CIPHER_SUITES environment variable is set, those are the only ciphers the server will use.

Actual Behavior

The default ciphers are still used

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. Set GRPC_SSL_CIPHER_SUITES=TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305
  2. Run sslscan against the gRPC endpoint
  3. Observe results

Research direction

Set GRPC_SSL_CIPHER_SUITES to the listed cipher suite values and run sslscan against the gRPC endpoint to reproduce the discrepancy. Compare the advertised ciphers with the configured list; done means the server uses only the suites supplied through the environment variable rather than the defaults.
