NimbostratusPCI Cipher Set
Can someone provide a good LTM client cipher set that would pass PCI ASV as well as support as many browsers as possible? I know no one can support IE 6-10 due to it not having TLS 1.2 and still be P...
Good morning,
I've read that CBC in combination with TLS1.2 is OK to use in case of PCI DSS 3.1 which will be enforced June 2016. Furthermore, our apps that process Visa and Mastercard payments were PCI-passed just this year with the same string I gave you initially. Without any changes, this will also pass the PCI DSS audit in June 2016. Can you specify which PCI version your scanner is using as the basis? I think youre too much ahead of the time, and those rules are probably not yet enforced at this point. Please clarify if you believe I'm not correct on that.
Nevertheless, to meet the requirements of your scanner, I've come to this string. Give it a try 🙂

NimbostratusHello Nate,
These string configs may not be ideal, but are good enough to pass PCI audits. I've implemented them for many clients who undergo PCI audits annually.
PCI DSS 3.1 (Will be enforced in June 2016):
ALL:!EXPORT:!RC4:!DES:!ADH:!EDH:!SSLv3:!TLSv1ALL:!EXPORT:!RC4:!DES:!ADH:!EDH:!SSLv3I believe if your F5 version is v11.5.1 or later, the DEFAULT cipher string will also pass PCI DSS 3.0. For v3.1 compliance, you will have to additionally disable TLS 1.0
Regards
natesmith317_18My problem is that this fails PCI via my VM scanner. I can eliminate TLS 1.1 but still leaves this: Negotiated with the following insecure cipher suites: TLS 1.2 ciphers: TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384- natesmith317_18I can get this setup to pass the scanner, gets an A- on SSL Labs, but cuts out support for many safari versions...

- Hannes_RappCan you retry with !CBC option? I've updated my original answer with the new string.
- natesmith317_18Would so love for that to work. We are on 11.5.3 and I get this: Invalid keyword 'cbc' in ciphers list for profile
- Hannes_RappSorry for inconvinience, Ill check into it tomorrow. Hope you're not in a rush ;)
