Example cipher suite needed...

I am running a box in our lab that is running 11.5.3. We have some very old Vista clients that need to access to two SSL VIPs. I need to use a cipher string that will support these ciphers below. I assume it will require use of the COMPAT stack.

 

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA

 

Can some provide an example of a cipher string that will support these AES_128 and RC4 ciphers? I know this opens me up to vulnerabilities but I have no choice.

 

Thank you,

    I don't think you will need RC4. If you can test, give a try to 

    ALL:!EXPORT:!RC4:!DES:!ADH:!EDH:!SSLv3

    -This SSL/TLS config also complies with PCI DSS 3.0 (Enforced till the end of June 2016)

    Although the string above qualifies for grade A in Qualys SSL labs, it's not perfect from a security standpoint. Windows Vista and XP clients on IE8 and newer can connect using TLS1.0 in combination with CBC.
