Nov 29, 2010Add http header of Server IP address?
Hello,
We are on version 9.4.8 of BigIP. We use a device called Truesight to monitor the user experience of our traffic. We recently moved the Truesight device to in front of the F5 so we ...
The Redirection on Weak Encryption Codeshare example handles this scenario more gracefully than disabling the low ciphers on the client SSL profile. The former gives you a chance to redirect the client to a page which explains why they're not able to access the application and a way to fix the problem. The latter should result in a TCP FIN or RST which the client would probably assume is a problem with the application.
The iRule will result in vulnerability scanners detecting LTM supports weak ciphers. However, this is a false positive as LTM won't allow such clients to access the application.
To view the ciphers included in a cipher string you can use tmm --clientciphers:
tmm --clientciphers 'DEFAULT:!ADH:!EXPORT40:!EXP:!LOW'
