SSL Ciphers

[mharding]

Does anyone have the ciphers list to configure on ISS and Apache that will fully support decryption? We're running PAN-OS 6.0.

Hi mharding

I hope you meant inbound ssl decryption.

Please look into this article: Inbound SSL Decryption Not Working Due to Unsupported Cipher Suites

Also go through this document:

Limitations and Recommendations While Implementing SSL Decryption

Thanks

Hi Mharding,

Following ciphers are not supported.

AES128-GCM-SHA256

AES256-GCM-SHA256

Please refer following document for the same.

Thanks everyone. This is the script I tweaked to use on the ciphers supported by the Palo Alto. Credit for the original script comes from Alexander Hass.

You'll need to reboot for the changes to take obviously. I scored a A- on Qualys SSL Labs.
