8.2 Optimizing SSL Configuration with Ciphers

In addition to setting up Transport Level Security (TLS), using a cipher suite provides additional security to client-server communications from Identity Server, Access Gateway to the web browsers.

IMPORTANT:The settings specified in this section indicate an SSL configuration that provides an optimal level of security. If you plan to make any changes in the cipher information, ensure that you test the configuration before you deploy it in the production setup.

In Access Manager 4.3, stronger ciphers for SSL communications have been configured for Administration Console, Identity Server, and communication between browsers and Access Gateway.

For information about how to specify SSL Configuration for communication between Access Gateway and web servers, see Section 4.5, Configuring Stronger Ciphers for SSL Communication between Access Gateway and Web Servers
