Disable 3DES for Admin HTTPS access
Hi,
I need to disable 3DES as a part of SWEET32 vulnerability. I have gone through few articles and they mention modifying the SSL client profile and commenting out 3DES. My question is -
- What client profile is used for admin access?
- Or do I need to modify httpd ssl-ciphersuite to have this fixed.
Thanks, Sean

Have you seen these articles?

For the management console you need to modify the httpd cipher suite
will show the current cipher suites for the management consolelist sys httpd ssl-ciphersuite

Hi,
You don't use a client ssl for admin access. you have to use tmsh in order to disable ciphers on admin access.
First of if you want to check cipher used, enter this command:
list sys httpd ssl-ciphersuite
sys httpd { ssl-ciphersuite ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA }
So if you want to disable 3DES you can just add
at the end of the line.:!DES:!DES
So to modify SSL-Ciphersuite follow this procedure:
tmsh modify sys httpd ssl-ciphersuite 'ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:....:!DES:!DES' tmsh save sys config bigstart restart httpd
Keep me in touch.

hello, I try this but not solut problem

I've just had a scan report for this on my F5's.
So this will modify the cipher suite for admin only?
For vServers i need to maintain the multi-suite available due to some application owners not updating their apps for years and actually can't upgrade some. We're proxying between suites for some services (false security imho but i do what i'm told)

All sorted thankyou for this info
