Regarding signature algorithm

Hi All,   We are seeing issue where when we are sending TLSv1.2 to server (i.e. serverssl profile present) it is dropping the connection. When I am sending TLSv1 then connection is successful. My ...

According to RFC5246, signature_algorithm is not strictly required. Anyway, from the screenshot I couldn't see the Data part in "signature_algorithm". There is 32 byte Data in signature_algorithm. If you click that row, you will see some details, and they should describe the list of hash and signature algorithms supported by F5. You can verify if the list contains the pair with SHA256.

 

What is really the server's requirement? Client must use SHA-2 and include the ability in signature_algorithm extension?

    Minn, Since by adding signature_algorithm it starts to work so I think that is the issue here. Any suggestion hot to enable this on LB?

    Hi Minn, sorry for late comment. Yeah I can see 32 byte data field and it shows sha2 n sha1 as well. Can you please suggest how this can be enabled on 11.6 and 11.4. From some forum I found that this is enabled by default in 11.6 and to enable on 11.4 we need to work with irule. But on none of code I am unable to figure out how to proceed. Thanks
