In 7.2.52.0, the BestPractices cipher set was updated. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 7.2.52.0, this change is effective immediately after upgrading to this release. This change was made to improve security and conform to the latest industry best practices.
Note: If you depend on any of the cipher
sets being removed from the BestPractices set, then before you
upgrade you must create a custom cipher set that contains these ciphers and
assign this new custom cipher set to the Virtual Services that are currently using
the BestPractices cipher set. After this is done, you can upgrade to this release
and your services will continue to use the old ciphers. If you do not, then after
upgrading, any clients that depend on these ciphers being available will no longer
be able to connect.
It is recommended, however, that you migrate your services as soon as possible to use the new BestPractices cipher set.
