There is a workaround for this. You have to do the following configuration to get this working. It is required to reboot after this configuration

config network secureweb cipher-option rc4-preference enable

you can find the more detail in this post.

Hi,

Verify if HTTP is enabled with command

show network summary

If this is not enabled try emabling this with below two commands

config network webmode enable and config network secureweb enable (must reboot if you enable https)

Hope that helps

Thanks Najaf KC

I started WLC again with 7.5 and find out that Google chrome doesn't work with new GUI interface. I tested in with Safari and works fine.

Tank you rasikanayanajith

It works perfect after change.

According to Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#Cipher

This type of cipher "RC4" is insecure

Following post

I prefer to use

> config network secureweb cipher-option high enable
It is not supported by Chrome but gladly I have other web browsers that will support it  
I hope next update from Google Chrome will fix that.

Thank again.

Glad that worked for you & thanks for rating the answer.

I think it is more or less Cisco has to come up with a fix in future releases to work with TLS 1.2 supported browsers without manually configuring this workaround.
