Technical Tip: Enabling individual ciphers in the SSH administrative access protocol in FortiProxy.

Description This article describes how to enable individual ciphers in the SSH administrative access protocol in FortiProxy.
Scope FortiProxy.
Solution

If a vulnerability scanner tool reports weak algorithms are enabled in FortiProxy, specific algorithms can be allowed by following commands.
These commands has been added in 7.0.1.

config system global

set ssh-enc-algo {chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com aes128-ctr aes192-ctr aes256-ctr arcfour256 arcfour128 aes128-cbc 3des-cbc blowfish-cbc cast128-cbc aes192-cbc aes256-cbc arcfour rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se aes128-gcm@openssh.com aes256-gcm@openssh.com} 


set ssh-kex-algo {diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 curve25519-sha256@libssh.org ecdh-sha2-nistp256 ecdh-sha2-nistp384 ecdh-sha2-nistp521}


set ssh-mac-algo {hmac-md5 hmac-md5-etm@openssh.com hmac-md5-96 hmac-md5-96-etm@openssh.com hmac-sha1 hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com hmac-sha2-256 hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com hmac-sha2-512 hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com hmac-ripemd160 hmac-ripemd160@openssh.com hmac-ripemd160-etm@openssh.com umac-64@openssh.com umac-128@openssh.com umac-64-etm@openssh.com umac-128-etm@openssh.com}


end

 

Note:

Starting from v7.4.4, the ssh-xxx-algo commands have been moved from 'config system global setting' to 'config system ssh-config setting'.
