Dell Unity: How to Disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on Unity Array (User Correctable).  However, the vulnerability scanner (Nessus) detected a TLS vulnerability on Port 5085.
Detected vulnerabilities:
https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/104743 This hyperlink is taking you to a website outside of Dell Technologies.
Plugin: 104743
Plugin name: TLS Version 1.0 Protocol Detection
Port: 5085
Plugin Output: TLSv1 is enabled and the server supports at least one cipher.
Synopsis: The remote service encrypts traffic using an older version of TLS.
Solution: Enable support for TLS 1.2 and 1.3, and disable support for TLS 1.0.

Cause

The command "uemcli -u admin -password <Your Password> /sys/security set -tlsMode TLSv1.2" disables only port 443.
If disabling port 5085 is desired, you must use the Option "-param" in the svc_nas command.

Resolution

Disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 (Port 5085) by using the below steps:
1. Check the current settings.

svc_nas ALL -param -facility ssl -info protocol -v

2. Change the value to "4" = TLSv1.2 and above".

svc_nas ALL -param -facility ssl -modify protocol -value 4

3. Confirm that the current_value has been changed to "4" =TLSv1.2 and above.

svc_nas ALL -param -facility ssl -info protocol -v

4. Reboot Storage Processors one at a time.
UI(Unisphere):
SYSTEM >>> Service >>> Service Tasks >>> (Storage Processor X) Select Reboot and click Execute.

CLI:

svc_shutdown --reboot [spa | spb] 

5. Confirm that the current_value has been changed to "4"=TLSv1.2 and above.

Example of changing from TLSv1.0 to TLSv1.2 (Port 5085):

1. Check the current settings.
XXXXX spa:~/user# svc_nas ALL -param -facility ssl -info protocol -v

name                    = protocol
facility_name           = ssl
default_value           = 2   <<<
current_value           = 2   <<<
configured_value        =     <<<
param_type              = global
user_action             = reboot SP
change_effective        = reboot SP
range                   = (0,4)
description             = Set the supported SSL/TLS protocols. Possible values are: 0=all SSL/TLS protocols are allowed, 1=SSLv3 and above, 2=TLSv1.0 and above, 3=TLSv1.1 and above, 4=TLSv1.2 and above

2. Change the value to "4" = TLSv1.2 and above".
XXXXX spa:~/user# svc_nas ALL -param -facility ssl -modify protocol -value 4

SPA : done

Warning 17716815750: SPA : You must reboot the SP for protocol changes to take effect.
SPB : done
 
Warning 17716815750: SPB : You must reboot the SP for protocol changes to take effect.

3. Confirm that the configured_value has been changed to "4"=TLSv1.2 and above.
XXXXX spa:~/user# svc_nas ALL -param -facility ssl -info protocol -v

SPA :
name                    = protocol
facility_name           = ssl
default_value           = 2
current_value           = 2  <<<< current_value is changed after restart
configured_value        = 4  <<<<
param_type              = global
user_action             = reboot SP
change_effective        = reboot SP
range                   = (0,4)
description             = Set the supported SSL/TLS protocols. Possible values are: 0=all SSL/TLS protocols are allowed, 1=SSLv3 and above, 2=TLSv1.0 and above, 3=TLSv1.1 and above, 4=TLSv1.2 and above

4. Reboot Storage Processor (both SPs alternately).

5. Confirm that the current_value has been changed to "4"=TLSv1.2 and above.

XXXXX spa:~/user# svc_nas ALL -param -facility ssl -info protocol -v

SPA :
name                    = protocol

configured_value        = 4
param_type              = global
user_action             = reboot SP
change_effective        = reboot SP
range                   = (0,4)
description             = Set the supported SSL/TLS protocols. Possible values are: 0=all SSL/TLS protocols are allowed, 1=SSLv3 and above, 2=TLSv1.0 and above, 3=TLSv1.1 and above, 4=TLSv1.2 and above
Disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 (port 443).
