If you’re using the DEFAULT group in your cipher suite SSL definitions you can check the following articles and compare the versions for changes:

K13156: SSL ciphers used in the default SSL profiles (11.x - 13.x)

K54125331: SSL ciphers used in the default SSL profiles (14.x)

Another option is to run the following on each version and compare the output (you will need a BIG-IP running each version you want to check)

tmm --clientciphers DEFAULT    

You can even check your cipher suites definition from your SSL Profile using that command just replace DEFAULT with your cipher suites definition and compare the output e.g.

tmm --clientciphers DEFAULT:3DES:!MD5

Duncan, have you upgraded yet? If so, how did it go...any issues? I'm testing v14.0.0.2 using a lab VE, and tried upgrading to 14.1.0, but I got a message after the reboot saying the configuration had not yet loaded. Eventually, I gave up and booted the lab VE again, but got the same thing. v14 does seem to be a little different beast than v11, v12 or v13 - when it comes to upgrades anyway. On thing I did notice in v14.0.0.2 was I could no longer view the local user database for APM - thus the failed attempt to upgrade to 14.1.0. But, anyway...

The config not being loaded means it needs to have the product license renewing.

At the moment, all is tickety boo and 14.1 is running without issues.

There was a moment when the ASM wasnt synchronising, but that was resolved when we rolled back and then reinstalled.

Ah, got it. Thanks for the tip!
