Thank you all.

I edited Connector node in server.xml file for my tomcat installation to
include below cipher code:

ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA,
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA"

This should remove the "Weak Cipher Suites" compliance error for Tomcat in
the VA scan.

Had to do this I was unable to find the ssl.conf file.

Thanks,
Anumeha
