Sep 26, 2007Enforcing 128-bit SSL encryption
Hi all,
I would like to force clients to use a 128-bit browser when connecting to a site with a 128-bit Verisign cert.
I have found this iRule on the forums :
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [SSL::cipher bits] < 128 }{
HTTP::respond 402 content "This web site requires 128 bit encryption or higher.\
Please update your browser and try again."
}
}
which looks fine, but is there a way to permanently stop the F5 from even negotiating to a weaker encryption? I'm already running a number of balancing decisions based on the HTTP Request, so don't really want to add this to the mix too.
Looking on the VeriSign website, I see this is easy to do on a MS IIS server (just change an option in the properties), but they were unable to help with the F5.
Any ideas?
Thanks
