Description This article describes how to disable a cipher to access FortiGate as an admin user.
Scope

FortiGate v7.0.x and above.

Solution

In some situations and in some environments, it is maybe necessary to disable or control the cipher suites to use to access FortiGate as admin user account.

To do that, consider banning the cipher suites via HTTPS by using the CLI commands as below.

To fix the issue.

 

At CLI command of FGT :

 

FGT # config system global

FGT # set admin-https-ssl-banned-ciphers XXX <----- XXX is cipher suite wanted.

FGT # end

 

XXX can be the lists as below:

 

RSA: Ban the use of cipher suites using RSA key.

DHE: Ban the use of cipher suites using authenticated ephemeral DH key agreement.

ECDHE: Ban the use of cipher suites using authenticated ephemeral ECDH key agreement.

DSS: Ban the use of cipher suites using DSS authentication.

ECDSA: Ban the use of cipher suites using ECDSA authentication.

AES: Ban the use of cipher suites using either 128 or 256 bit AES.

AESGCM: Ban the use of cipher suites using AES in Galois Counter Mode (GCM).

CAMELLIA: Ban the use of cipher suites using either 128 or 256 bit CAMELLIA.

3DES: Ban the use of cipher suites using triple DES.

SHA1: Ban the use of cipher suites using HMAC-SHA1.

SHA256: Ban the use of cipher suites using HMAC-SHA256.

SHA384: Ban the use of cipher suites using HMAC-SHA384.

STATIC: Ban the use of cipher suites using static keys.

CHACHA20: Ban the use of cipher suites using ChaCha20.

ARIA: Ban the use of cipher suites using ARIA.

AESCCM: Ban the use of cipher suites using AESCCM.

Example:

To disable or ban cipher suites with 3DES , AES ,and SHA1, use the CLI commands below.

 

FGT # config system global

FGT # set admin-https-ssl-banned-ciphers 3DES AES SHA1

FGT # end
