Synthetic Monitor TLS Report — F5 SE Outcome-based Learning documentation

Synthetic Monitor TLS ReportΒΆ

Strong SSL/TLS settings on an external footprint of an application are the first step in application security. F5XC can generate a Qualys SSLLabs report while testing an available application.

Objective:

Generate a TLS Score Report

Why:

Periodic testing of external TLS endpoints can proactively identify problems a consumer may find. Proxy solutions and Firewalls will change their presentation of TLS ciphers available for negotiation in different versions. Validating these kinds of changes after upgrades is extremely helpful.

How:

Expose the NGINX application servers with a TLS endpoint.

Possible TLS endpoints to use:
  • F5XC Load Balancer

  • BIG-IP

  • NGINX

  • Platform native load balancer
