+=== Choosing your Cipher Suite
+
+If you are on a version of TLS that allows a cipher suite weaker than your latest security policies allow, 
+you can specify which ciphers to use with 
+link:++https://docs.couchbase.com/sdk-api/couchbase-core-io/com/couchbase/client/core/env/SecurityConfig.Builder.html#ciphers(java.util.List++[`SecurityConfig.Builder (ciphers(List`].
+
+For example:
+
+[source,java]
+----
+Cluster cluster = Cluster.connect( connectionString, ClusterOptions.clusterOptions(username, password) .environment(env -> env .securityConfig(it -> it.ciphers(List.of( "MY_CIPHER", "TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA",
+      "TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA",
+      "TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA",
+      "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",
+      "TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA",
+      "TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5"))) ) );

+To check which ciphers are available on a self-managed Couchbase Server installation, run:

 == Cloud Native Gateway
 
 Couchbase's next generation connection protocol, introduced in Java SDK 3.5 and xref:operator::concept-cloud-native-gateway.adoc[Couchbase Autonomous Operator 2.6.1], can be enabled simply by changing the connection string to `couchbase2://` but there are a few differences to be aware of, described <<#limitations,below>>.
