WAF - VWS - TLS version setting removed from UTM 9.506

UTM 9.5 introduced the ability to set the TLS version on a per-VWS basis.

This was a much needed feature that allowed us to increase the TLS version setting for Virtual Web Servers that we wanted to run a higher version, whilst allowing us to continue to run some VWS at a lower level, where clients would not work properly work at the highest version.

It appears that this has been removed in 9.506, being replaced by a global setting on the Advanced tab under the WAF area in Webadmin.

I have now had to change the setting for ALL my VWS to TLS 1.0 so that the few systems that require us to use the less secure 1.0 can continue to operate, weakening the security stance of all the VWS I had previously operating at version 1.2.

This is obviously not good.

Have I completely missed something in the release notes explaining this change? Or has Sophos pulled this feature without a mention?

The only thing in the release notes that even seems related is 'NUTM-8806 [WAF] Issue with TLS settings for virtual webserver'

  • Confused me too :-)

     

    Like you said, look under "Advanced" :

    I cannot think of sites using lower than 1.2, so for me it's not a problem, but I surely understand some can have assues, though they may be few.

  • Is there anything new on this issue? There are no notes on the release notes for 9.508.

    The ability to configure the tls-version per vws is an important feature. 

  • I checked at Ideas, Benedikt, and there is no such feature request, so you might want to make one and post a link to it here in this thread.  I checked the structure of a Virtual Server object at the command line with cc get_object and confirmed that there is no option that could be changed in it to select a different TLS version.
