Connectrix B-Series: The Web Browsers Report "Cipher Mismatch, No Matching Ciphers" When Accessing WebTools UI Using HTTPS

Zusammenfassung: AES256-SHA256 (0x3d) and AES128-SHA256 (0x3c) is blocked for TLS.

Symptome

The web browsers (Chrome, New Edge, or Firefox) refused to open the WebTools using HTTPS.

The error message contains "Cipher Mismatch" or "No Matching Ciphers."

The switch is running in FOS 8.1 or 8.2 firmware.
 

Ursache

The switch HTTPS cipher setting only allows AES256-SHA256 and AES128-SHA256 for TLS 1.2 (the "default_generic" or "default_strong templates" of FOS 8.1 or 8.2).
<switchname>:root> seccryptocfg --show | grep HTTPS
HTTPS                    : !ECDH:!DH:HIGH:-MD5:!CAMELLIA:!SRP:!PSK:!AESGCM:!SSLv3
HTTPS                    : TLSv1.2

<switchname:root> openssl ciphers -v '!ECDH:!DH:HIGH:-MD5:!CAMELLIA:!SRP:!PSK:!AESGCM:!SSLv3'
AES256-SHA256           TLSv1.2 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=AES(256)  Mac=SHA256
AES128-SHA256           TLSv1.2 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=AES(128)  Mac=SHA256

The Wireshark dump shows that the client does not accept AES256-SHA256 (0x3d) or AES128-SHA256 (0x3c), hence the TLS handshake fails.

Lösung

Modify the switch HTTPS cipher setting to cover the client. 

Example:
In this example, the current HTTPS cipher setting is "!ECDH:!DH:HIGH:-MD5:!CAMELLIA:!SRP:!PSK:!AESGCM:!SSLv3"

To enable AES256-GCM-SHA384 (0x9d) and AES128-GCM-SHA256 (0x9c), remove "!AESGCM" from the setting with the command:
seccryptocfg --replace -type https -cipher '!ECDH:!DH:HIGH:-MD5:!CAMELLIA:!SRP:!PSK:!SSLv3'
