Strong SSL and TLS Encryption Required in Your Browser
The internal SonicWALL Web server only supports SSL version 3.0 and TLS with strong ciphers (128 bits or
greater) when negotiating HTTPS management sessions. SSL implementations prior to version 3.0 and weak
ciphers (symmetric ciphers less than 128 bits) are not supported. This heightened level of HTTPS security protects
against potential SSLv2 roll-back vulnerabilities and ensures compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) and
other security and risk-management standards.
TIP: By default, Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 enable SSL 3.0 and TLS, and disable
SSL 2.0. SonicWALL recommends using the most recent Web browser releases. If you are using a previous
release of these browsers, you should enable SSL 3.0 and TLS and disable SSL 2.0. In Internet Explorer, go to
Tools > Internet Options on the Advanced tab and scroll to the bottom of the Settings menu. In Firefox, go to
Tools > Options on the Advanced tab, and then select the Encryption tab.
