Hello,

You can review the current SSL Ciphers in use by navigating to System Administration --> SSL Config in the GUI. You can then use that string within the CLI to verify which ciphers are being offered.

(Cluster Test)> sslconfig

sslconfig settings:
 GUI HTTPS method: tlsv1_2
 GUI HTTPS ciphers: 
 MEDIUM
 HIGH
 -SSLv2
 -aNULL
 -EXPORT
 @STRENGTH
 Inbound SMTP method: tlsv1_0tlsv1_1tlsv1_2
 Inbound SMTP ciphers: 
 RC4-SHA
 RC4-MD5
 ALL
 -aNULL
 -EXPORT
 Outbound SMTP method: tlsv1_0tlsv1_1tlsv1_2
 Outbound SMTP ciphers: 
 RC4-SHA
 RC4-MD5
 ALL
 -aNULL
 -EXPORT

Choose the operation you want to perform:
- GUI - Edit GUI HTTPS ssl settings.
- INBOUND - Edit Inbound SMTP ssl settings.
- OUTBOUND - Edit Outbound SMTP ssl settings.
- VERIFY - Verify and show ssl cipher list.
- CLUSTERSET - Set how ssl settings are configured in a cluster.
- CLUSTERSHOW - Display how ssl settings are configured in a cluster.
[]> verify

Enter the ssl cipher you want to verify.

I would personally recommend the current string (tweak depending on your needs) : MEDIUM:HIGH:-SSLv2:-aNULL:-EXPORT:-DES:-3DES:-RC4:-IDEA-CBC-SHA:@STRENGTH

Hi Dennis,

Please find the attachment and let me know this server strength is 256 or 512 or etc.,

[dmccabej]

Hello,

Are you referring to the key length? If so, you can review this via the steps I provided. The key length would be within the '(xxx)'. (IE: RC4-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=SHA1).

Thanks!

-Dennis M.

I haven't find below Cipher's strength.

RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5:ALL:-aNULL:-EXPORT
MEDIUM:HIGH:-SSLv2:-aNULL:@STRENGTH:-EXPORT

Actually I have received a request to fill the form to enforce TLS from their side. Please find the attachment for the same.

[dmccabej]

Hello,

The @STRENGTH option I referenced above will sort the ciphers by key length. You can verify the 256 length ciphers are listed first by the command(s) I provided.

Thanks!
