SHA1 Signature algorithm on FWSM

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask whether SHA1 signature algorithm is available for FWSM. We use FWSM code version 3.2(22) in our production network where only MD5 signature algorithm is available. There is a need to upgrade to stronger algorithm SHA1. From my experience I know that this is possible on ASA firewalls running on 8.4. codes. Certificates generated on code 8.4. automatically use SHA1 with RSA Encryption.

Is it possible to have Signature algorithm SHA1 on FWSM? If so, in which code version?

Thank you very much in advance.

ASA 5550 sample output:

hba-pf-a# sh crypto ca cert

Hello Michal,

i have tried in the LAB with version 4.0.1, and i got it as MD5 signature. i checked all official FWSM documents and i dont see this mentioned anywhere, so i guess its not supported on FWSM.

Othman

Thank you very much Othman for quick reply and your support on this matter.
