When you create or request SSL certificates to be used in combination with a particular cipher suite, you must be aware of the following:

  • Different cipher suites require different signing algorithms to be used when creating server and client certificates.
  • Some cipher suites are designed to reject self-signed certificates, as an added level of security.

The following sections outline specific requirements for various cipher suites supported by the LoadMaster.

Note: This information is not specific to the LoadMaster, but to the design of the cipher suites themselves.
