Cipher Strings
Hello,
I'm looking to see how LTM orders ciphers if you use the @SPEED option in your cipher string. If I use the openssl command to sort on @STRENGTH then I get a list that is as follows:
openssl ciphers 'ALL:@STRENGTH'
ADH-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:AES256-SHA:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:ADH-DES-CBC3-SHA:DES-CBC3-MD5:ADH-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA:AES128-SHA:RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5:ADH-RC4-MD5:RC2-CBC-MD5:RC4-MD5:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA:EDH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA:DES-CBC-SHA:ADH-DES-CBC-SHA:DES-CBC-MD5:EXP-EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA:EXP-EDH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA:EXP-DES-CBC-SHA:EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5:EXP-RC4-MD5:EXP-ADH-DES-CBC-SHA:EXP-ADH-RC4-MD5:EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5:EXP-RC4-MD5
The @SPEED option produces an error, although this option is mentioned in the LTM config guide.
Does anyone know what the ciphers presented by LTM will be if you use the 'ALL:@SPEED' option in a clientSSL profile?
Thanks in advance,
Travis

- OK I think I derived the answer based on a TMM command:
tmm --clientciphers 'ALL:@SPEED'
The above command should print all ciphers supported by TMM in order of speed. I'll post again if I interpreted this wrong. - Thanks Aaron.
As an interesting aside, it looks like ciphers are ordered by speed by default, as the command "tmm --clientciphers 'ALL:@SPEED'" gives the same output as "tmm --clientciphers 'ALL'"
