ciphersuite

Use ciphersuite to specify the cipher suites supported by an SSL server policy.

Use undo ciphersuite to restore the default.

Syntax

In non-FIPS mode:

ciphersuite { dhe_rsa_aes_128_cbc_sha | dhe_rsa_aes_128_cbc_sha256 | dhe_rsa_aes_256_cbc_sha | dhe_rsa_aes_256_cbc_sha256 | ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_128_cbc_sha256 | ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_128_gcm_sha256 | ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_256_cbc_sha384 | ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_256_gcm_sha384 | ecdhe_rsa_aes_128_cbc_sha256 | ecdhe_rsa_aes_128_gcm_sha256 | ecdhe_rsa_aes_256_cbc_sha384 | ecdhe_rsa_aes_256_gcm_sha384 | exp_rsa_des_cbc_sha | exp_rsa_rc2_md5 | exp_rsa_rc4_md5 | rsa_3des_ede_cbc_sha | rsa_aes_128_cbc_sha | rsa_aes_128_cbc_sha256 | rsa_aes_256_cbc_sha | rsa_aes_256_cbc_sha256 | rsa_des_cbc_sha | rsa_rc4_128_md5 | rsa_rc4_128_sha } *

undo ciphersuite

In FIPS mode:

ciphersuite { ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_128_cbc_sha256 | ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_256_cbc_sha384 | ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_128_gcm_sha256 | ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_256_gcm_sha384 | ecdhe_rsa_aes_128_cbc_sha256 | ecdhe_rsa_aes_128_gcm_sha256 | ecdhe_rsa_aes_256_cbc_sha384 | ecdhe_rsa_aes_256_gcm_sha384 | rsa_aes_128_cbc_sha | rsa_aes_128_cbc_sha256 | rsa_aes_256_cbc_sha | rsa_aes_256_cbc_sha256 } *

Usage guidelines

SSL employs the following algorithms:

Data encryption algorithms—Encrypt data to ensure privacy. Commonly used data encryption algorithms are symmetric key algorithms. When a symmetric key algorithm is used, the SSL server and the SSL client must use the same key.
Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms—Calculate the MAC value for data to ensure integrity. Commonly used MAC algorithms include MD5 and SHA. When a MAC algorithm is used, the SSL server and the SSL client must use the same key.
Key exchange algorithms—Implement secure exchange of the keys used by the symmetric key algorithm and the MAC algorithm. Commonly used key exchange algorithms are usually asymmetric key algorithms, such as RSA.

After the SSL server receives a cipher suite from a client, the server matches the received cipher suite against the cipher suits it supports. If a match is found, the cipher suite negotiation succeeds. Otherwise, the negotiation fails.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.
