      There is not possibility to use alternative JSSE Cipher Suite Names for IBM JDK8
      Interchange TLS prefix to SSL and vice versa is not supported.

      Here is list of standard JSSE Cipher Suite Names
      http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html#ciphersuites

      In my opinion this file is mapping file for our purpose. It is?
      https://github.com/wildfly-security/wildfly-elytron/blob/master/src/main/java/org/wildfly/security/ssl/MechanismDatabase.properties

      For IBM JDK are different JSSE Cipher Suite Names (different prefix).
      Most items from this list are missing in MechanismDatabase.properties mentioned above.
      http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYKE2_8.0.0/com.ibm.java.security.component.80.doc/security-component/jsse2Docs/ciphersuites.html?lang=cs

      For example:
      JSSE Cipher Suite Name SSL_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA is only defined for IBM JDK.
      It is TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA for Oracle JDK.

      If I try start server with JSSE Cipher Suite Name SSL_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA I will get this error:
