Dec 23, 2014HTTPS monitor question
Hi All
I need clarification on how https monitor works in relation to cipher list
1 .Does bigd uses some specific protocol for monitoring backend servers .
Can bigd be forced to use ...

e.g.
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) modify ltm monitor https myhttps cipherlist DEFAULT:+SHA:+3DES:+kEDH:!SSLv3
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm monitor https myhttps
ltm monitor https myhttps {
adaptive disabled
cipherlist DEFAULT:+SHA:+3DES:+kEDH:!SSLv3
compatibility enabled
defaults-from https
destination *:*
interval 5
ip-dscp 0
send "GET /\r\n"
time-until-up 0
timeout 16
}
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) q
[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config ssldump -Aed -nni 0.0 host 200.200.200.101 and port 443

For the 2 nd part if i got it right first i need to remove https monitor from pool then start running ssldump and alongside apply monitor again
yes but if you use DEFAULT:+SHA:+3DES:+kEDH:!SSLv3 cipher, you do not need to do it (i.e. remove and re-assign the monitor) because sslv3 is already removed.

Dec 25, 2014thanks
A) But if i remove the remove sslv3 it will remove all the ciphers and health check will fail . So i dont think there is any way to negate sslv3 in monitor .
Because when i negate sslv3 DEFAULT:+SHA:+3DES:+kEDH:-SSLv3 pool members go down as no ciphers are left as both are named same sslv3 and tls1.0
So my question is :
B) Is there any tmsh command/way to disable SSLv3 protocol instead of SSLv3 ciphers in particular monitors and SSL profile ?
