Hi,
Can anyone confirm that ASE 15.7 supports TLS 1.2?
We can get all cipher suites enabled but does it support TLS 1.2?

This cipher is found within ASE and even it is used it does not mean it is using TLS1.2 protocol since we are not negotiating from WebSphere application server and we are forcing only TLSv1.2 to be used.
When I tried to retrieve the signer certificate from WebSphere console it gave me that the database server is not supporting TLS and it failed until I changed the security level for WebSphere to accept TLS1.0 or SSL which is not acceptable since both protocols are vulnerable (ASE should support TLS1.2).
And it is used for all secure communications of the application servers since it is a general configuration over the cell, when it is forced to TLS1.2 the error appear and when we decrease it to accept TLS1.0 or SSLv3 the application server is accepting the connection with the database server.
I have attached RFC that covers TLS/SSL... Please check the Appendix A.5 at page 75, you will find that TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA is listed as a cipher suite for TLS 1.2
