FortiGate-60E Low-Encryption Unable to Access FortiGate WebUI from HTTPS, HTTP only

Hello!

I have FortiGate-60E Low-Encryption

https://kb.fortinet.com/kb/documentLink.do?externalID=FD37333

 

I have error:

This site can’t provide a secure connection

fortigate.local uses an unsupported protocol.

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH Hide details Unsupported protocol The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite.       I saw https://forum.fortinet.com/tm.aspx?m=104586 Is FortiGate-60E Low-Encryption support https WebGUI?

Guys, I'm sure the LENC models need a 40/56bit browser, hence LENC support. You need to test with a 40bit browser. Any thing modern is NOT going todo  40/56 bit encryption.

Sounds like exercise in frustration - you have to find browser of the Windows XP SP2 era, but then all the HTML5/Javascript of the Fortigate GUI stuff  will not work/work partially with it. 

So the short answer - no, with LENC you don't have HTTPS for management, just HTTP or SSH .

It's saying "mismatch" between your client device and the FGT. It's NOT saying the FGT doesn't support the encryption level your device is requiring. Go to CLI under "config system global" then "get | grep admin-https-ssl". You should get like below:

  fg50e-utm (global) # get | grep admin-https-ssl   admin-https-ssl-versions: tlsv1-1 tlsv1-2 tlsv1-3 Then you need to make sure that the browser's supported TLS versions would overlap with them. Each browser would have different way to do the settings, which you need to figure out for your browser.

Many thanks for the prompt reply!

I have tried different browsers, they are support tls all versions.

A have tried enable all ssl options:

I don't think so. You can check if LENC or not with one of methods in the KB:

 I think, fortigate has no ciphers support (bcz Low-Encryption version).

Thank you!

But, 56-bit DES encryption is now obsolete, having been replaced as a standard in 2002. Firefox 1 supports 56-bit DES, but does not support WebGUI.
