Technical Tip : How to enable strong encryption for HTTPS/SSH admin access to a FortiGate

[#1]

Description
This is the FortiGate CLI procedure to enable strong encryption :

config system global
   set strong-crypto enable
end

Enabling the use of strong encryption will only allow strong ciphers (AES, 3DES) and digest (SHA1) for HTTPS/SSH admin access.  When strong encryption is enabled, HTTPS is supported by the following web browsers: Netscape 7.2, Netscape 8.0, Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.  Note that Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and 6.0 are not supported in strong encryption.
