Global - TLS Configuration

Name

Description

Minimum TLS Version

The option to select the minimum TLS version to be supported.

The options are:

  • TLSv1.0

  • TLSv1.1

  • TLSv1.2

  • TLSv1.3

Note:

TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 have known vulnerabilities, and Avaya do not recommend to use these TLS versions.

If Minimum TLS Version is set to TLSv1.0 or TLSv1.1, System Manager displays the following message in the Notifications widget:

Warning! TLS <1.0/1.1> is enabled. For increased security, it is recommended that the Minimum TLS Version be set to TLS 1.2 or higher if these protocol levels can be supported in your configuration.

For the new System Manager deployment, the minimum TLS version is set to 1.2.

From Release 10.1, SSLv3 is not supported.

On the earlier release system, if the minimum TLS version is configured to:

  • SSLv3, System Manager sets the value to TLSv1.0 after upgrading to Release 10.1 and later.

  • Any other TLS version value, System Manager retains the TLS version after upgrading to Release 10.1 and later.

For a military hardened system, the minimum TLS version is set to 1.2.

The option to select the certificate revocation type.

This option cannot be changed if Certificate Revocation Validation is set to NONE.

Note:

Only System Manager Release 7.1 and later supports OCSP. Other elements of Avaya Aura® Suite do not support OCSP. Therefore, Avaya recommends not to change the Revocation Type setting to OCSP.

Revocation Type Preference

The option to select the certificate revocation type.

This option can be edited if Revocation Type is set to BOTH.

Check method

The option to select the checking method for the certificate.

This option cannot be changed if Certificate Revocation Validation is set to NONE.
