    Supported IDP SSL Ciphers

    An SSL cipher comprises encryption cipher, authentication method, and compression. Junos OS supports all OPENSSL supported ciphers that do not involve the use of temporary private keys. For authentication, NULL, MD5, and SHA-1 authentication methods are supported.

    Note: Compression and SSLv2 ciphers are not supported. Currently, most SSL servers automatically upgrade to a TLS cipher when an SSLv2 cipher is received in a client “hello” message. Check your browser to see how strong the ciphers can be and which ones your browser supports. (If the cipher is not in the list of supported ciphers, the session is ignored for deep packet inspection.)

    Table 1 shows the encryption algorithms supported by the SRX Series devices.

    Note: RC4 and IDEA ciphers are not supported because of license and OPENSSL library availability.
