AsyncOS 9.2 for Cisco Web Security Appliances User Guide
 
Appendix B      Command Line Interface
  Web Security Appliance CLI Commands
sslconfig
Commands for use of communications protocols TLS v1.x and SSL v3 with 
Appliance Management Web User Interface, Proxy Services (includes 
HTTPS Proxy and Credential Encryption for Secure Client), Secure LDAP 
Services (includes Authentication, External Authentication and Secure 
Mobility), as well as the Update Service. 
VERSIONS
 – View and change the protocols enabled for specific services.
COMPRESS
 – Enable/disable TLS compression. Disabling is recommended for 
best security.
CIPHERS
 – Add/update cipher suites available to selected protocols.
The default cipher for AsyncOS versions 9.0 and earlier is 
DEFAULT:+kEDH
. For AsyncOS versions 9.1 and later, it the default 
cipher is 
EECDH:DSS:RSA:!NULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!3DES:!RC4:!RC2:!DES:!SEED
:!CAMELLIA:!SRP:!IDEA:!ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:!ECDHE-RSA-AES2
56-SHA:!DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:!AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
. In 
both cases, this may change based on your ECDHE cipher selections.  
Note
However, regardless of version, the default cipher does not change 
when you upgrade to a newer AsyncOS version. For example, when 
you upgrade from an earlier version to AsyncOS 9.1, the default 
cipher is 
DEFAULT:+kEDH
. In other words, following an upgrade, you 
must update the current cipher suite yourself; Cisco recommends 
updating to 
EECDH:DSS:RSA:!NULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!3DES:!RC4:!RC2:!DES:!S
EED:!CAMELLIA:!SRP:!IDEA:!ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:!ECDHE-RS
A-AES256-SHA:!DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:!AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES12
8-SHA
.  
FALLBACK
 – Enable/disable the SSL/TLS fall-back option. If enabled, 
communications with remote servers will fall back to the lowest configured 
protocol following a handshake failure. 
After a protocol version is negotiated between client and server, 
handshake failure is possible because of implementation issues. If this 
option is enabled, the proxy attempts to connect using the lowest version 
of the currently configured TLS/SSL protocols.
Note
On new AsyncOS 9.x installations, fall-back is disabled by default. For 
upgrades from earlier versions on which the fall-back option exists, the 
current setting is retained; otherwise, when upgrading from a version on 
which the option did not exist, fall-back is enabled by default.  
ECDHE
– Enable/disable use of ECDHE ciphers for LDAP.
Additional ECDH ciphers are supported in successive releases; however, 
certain named curves provided with some of the additional ciphers cause 
the appliance to close a connection during secure LDAP authentication 
and HTTPS traffic decryption. See 
 fo
more information about specifying additional ciphers.
If you experience these issues, use this option to disable or enable 
ECDHE cipher use for either or both features.
