Include strong ciphers in liberty

We are using EKMF Web, and it uses WebSphere Liberty.  EKMFWEB uses port 9443. Recently we received report that the port is vulnerable. Upon researching with IBM, it was found that weak ciphers have been included in liberty even when configured to only use strong ciphers. That means liberty is not providing strongest security to EKMFWeb. 

For a short-term solution, we have edited server.xml file in EKMF to include few strongest ciphers. 

However, I would request IBM to make this change to liberty to use strongest ciphers by default, so that one don't have to code it manually. This will help is maintaining the product, because during upgrades, one might forget to add the cipher again to server.xml file and we end getting the audit failure reports again. 

Also, strongest ciphers would help everyone who are using WebSphere Liberty. Strongest Ciphers mean stronger security.
