JSS 9.81 Step 3 for ciphers server.xml update

We upgraded our JSS to v9.81 (from 9.61) and that appears to have gone according to plan. We have a question, though, on Step #3 about modifying the server.xml file on a windows server for "Ciphers for Tomcat HTTPS Connections".

https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/article.html?id=384

When I edited the server.xml file using notepad, I copied and pasted over the ciphers data and saved the file. However, after restarting Tomcat, the JSS fails to load. If I replace the server.xml file with the original the JSS loads just fine.

Am I editing the file incorrectly? Is it necessary to do this update? Any hints or tricks?

Thanks!

Never edit with Notepad. It inserts carriage returns and other hidden characters that break the config files. Get Notepad++ for Windows.

    Fair enough! That didn't quite resolve this issue, as I still had to add that extra cipher below the rest (which pretty much everyone in the comments had to add as well). I wasn't thinking it would completely stop the JSS from running if I didn't include that last cipher, but apparently it does!
