About GlobalProtect Cipher Selection

• SSL/TLS versions accepted by the gateway—The GlobalProtect portal and gateways can restrict the list of cipher suites available for the app using SSL/TLS profiles. On the firewall, you create the SSL/TLS profile by specifying the certificate and the allowed protocol versions and associate that to the GlobalProtect portal and gateway.
• Algorithm of the server certificate of the gateway—The operating system of the endpoint determines what cipher suites the GlobalProtect app includes in its Client Hello message. As long as the GlobalProtect app includes the cipher suite that the gateway prefers to use, the gateway will select that cipher suite for the SSL session. The order of cipher suites within the Client Hello message does not affect the cipher suite selection: The gateway selects the cipher suite based on the SSL/TLS service profile and the algorithm of the gateway server certificate and its preferred list. You select the service profile from the GlobalProtect gateway authentication configuration.
