Layer 7 monitor and Cipher string.

Customer is trying to monitor Active Directory File Services and needs to use a layer 7 monitor. THe VIP uses prt 443 passthrough with a fastl4 profile. He has not had sucess with https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/big-ip-and-adfs-part-5-working-with-adfs-30-and-sn. He has also tried the https monitor. Using the HTTPS monitor I took a packet capture and saw the 3 way handshake, and a client hello, but no server hello. The customer is running 11.6.0. ADFS is working fine with BigIP. He is using the tcp monitor.

 

My question is related to the local/traffic/monitor cipher string. What would I place there given that the ADFS server supports the below?

 

From ADFS Server:
