Mutual TLS: accepting sha256 / rsa client certs

We have an F5 setup to use mutual TLS (requesting the client's cert) for some SSL/TLS sites.

 

The client only has a SHA256 cert. The client can do Mutual TLS with an Apache server but not with the F5 server.

 

We've traced the problem to the TLS Handshake CERTIFICATE_REQUEST sent by the F5 to the client. It differs from the one sent by the Apache server.

 

The F5 CERTIFICATE_REQUEST only specs (accepts) one pair of HashAlgorithm / SignatureAlgorithm: 02 01 - sha1 / rsa

 

==>> How can we set the F5 so it will also accept sha256/rsa client certs?

 

(I'm an F5 newbie, thanks in advance for providing details.)
