    Hi, a customer has a F5 (balancer) with cipher:

    Is this cipher support for CEM/TIM ?

    Thank you!

    Hi Elbert:

    The complete ciphersuite is needed to see what is supported. But on the face of it, the answer is yes. There are a variety of knowledge documents on this topic including:

    Marking this as answered since a link to check supported ciphersuites was given. Please feel free to ask any additional follow-up questions

    In addition, this KB also has a link to JMertin's latest apm-scripts Fieldpack on GitHub.

    That includes a CIPHER check which will tell you what ciphersuites are compatible with the Web Server and whether they are also supported by TIM

    "Which Cipher Suites are supported CEM/TIM for decoding SSL hosted applications and how can I check those against the Ciphers installed on my web servers?"
