In response to recent changes to US Government standards for FIPS-140-2 certifications, changes have been made to the ciphers available in the LoadMaster certified FIPS product. [The FIPS certified product is enabled by turning on the Certificates & Security > Remote Access > Enable Software FIPS Mode option.]

19 ciphers have been removed from the list of ciphers available in FIPS mode, as shown in the tables below. The remaining 20 ciphers will be the only ciphers available on the system after upgrade.

Upgrade: Removed Ciphers in Custom Cipher Sets

Note that, on upgrade from the previous FIPS mode system, any custom cipher sets defined in the LoadMaster that include the removed ciphers shown above will remain in those custom cipher sets after the upgrade. You should remove those ciphers from these custom sets to be compliant with the new FIPS cipher guidance either before or after the upgrade.
