Foldr appliance update 4.10.0.1 (26th August 2018) switches to a ‘modern‘ SSL cipher configuration by default for the appliance web server. This disables weaker SSL ciphers and only permits clients to connect using TLS 1.2.
Older appliance builds use a legacy configuration by default which enables TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 along with various ciphers for each protocol. There may be compatibility reasons for requiring older TLS protocols to be enabled, such as when using an older / deprecated web publishing service such as Microsoft TMG/ISA.
It is always recommended, where possible, to use the default modern cipher configuration.
Changing the Cipher Mode
To change the cipher mode, log into the appliance console as fadmin and issue the following command
LEGACY ciphers
set-ciphers legacy
MODERN ciphers
set-ciphers modern
