1TLS Profile
 

Parameter

Description

Name

The name assigned to this Transport Layer Security (TLS) profile. Must be 1 - 23 characters.

App Auth Timer

Specifies the higher layer authentication timer in seconds. Must be 1-60 seconds. The default value is 5.

Handshake
Timer

Specifies the time in which the TLS handshake must be completed. The timer starts when the TCP connection is established. Must be 1 - 60 seconds; default is 5.

Session Resume
Timer

Specifies the TLS session resumption period for which cached sessions are retained (in seconds). TLS allows successive connections to be created within one TLS session and the resumption of a session after a TLS connection is closed or after a server card failover, without repeating the entire authentication and other setup steps for each connection, except when the space must be reclaimed for a new session. Must be 0 - 86,400 seconds; default is 3600.

Cipher Suite1

Use this parameter to specify the first TLS Cipher Suite choice for this profile.

  • nosuite
  • rsa-with-3des-ede-cbc-sha – Authentication mechanism in the TLS Handshake protocol.
  • rsa-with-aes-128-cbc-sha (default)  Confidentiality cipher and mode for the TLS Record protocol.
  • rsa-with-aes-128-cbc-sha-256 – Confidentiality cipher and mode for the TLS Record protocol with SHA-256 as the hash function.

  • rsa-with-aes-256-cbc-sha – Confidentiality cipher and mode for the TLS Record protocol with AES 256 encryption.  
  • rsa-with-aes-256-cbc-sha-256* Confidentiality cipher and mode for the TLS Record protocol with AES 256 encryption and SHA-256 as the hash function.

  • rsa-with-null-sha – The integrity cipher used for the TLS Record protocol. 

  • tls_ecdh_ecdsa_with_aes_256_cbc_sha384** – Confidentiality cipher and mode for TLS recode with AES256 GCM and SHA384 as hash function.
  • tls_ecdh_ecdsa_with_aes_256_gcm_sha384** – Confidentiality cipher and mode for TLS recode with AES256 CBC and SHA384 as hash function.

  • tls_ecdhe_rsa_with_aes_256_cbc_sha384* Confidentiality cipher and mode for the TLS Record protocol using ECDHE (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key Exchange).

* To use this cipher, TLS version 1.2 must be enabled in the TLS Profile.

• false
