In LMOS 7.2.48.3, the BestPractices cipher set was updated. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 7.2.48.3, this change is effective immediately after upgrade to this release. This change was made to improve LoadMaster 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 upgrade 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. For more information on the cipher sets removed from the set, refer to the 7.2.48.3 Release Notes.
