    HI Hoang,

     

    1) Disable TLS 1.0 Protocol Detection on Management Interface (using HTTPS)

     

    ANS: if you want to restrict to only TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 ciphers and disable use of TLS 1.0, then type the following command :

    #tmsh modify /sys httpd ssl-ciphersuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!eNULL:!MD5:!DES:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!TLSv1

    #tmsh save sys config

    #bigstart restart httpd

     

    2) Reconfig Self-signed Certificate on Management Interface

     

    Ans:

    Hope this helps.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions,

    Hi Hoang,

    ANS: It will not impact all the services. It only applies to management GUI interface(configuration Utility) which is accessed via HTTPS.

     

    Here is the documentation from F5 your conformation.

    >> we only reconfig on Management interface.

     

    May be you are thinking  Configuration utility and Management Interface are 2 different things. F5 calls Management interface as  Configuration utility.

     

    "Configuration utility = Management Interface"

     

    Therefore, following article is for management interface.
