Ability to select TLS 1.2 and TLS1.3 both for a node.

Currently Sterling Secure Proxy has the ability to support mixed mode of TLS 1.1,TLS 1.2. We have some partners who need to move to TLS 1.3 where as other continue to use TLS 1.2.

Hence need the ability to select mixed mode of TLS 1.2,TLS1.3 .

What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Supporting a mixed mode is valuable however do you want this to be supported for all protocols or do you have specific protocols ?


    we can revisit this once we see interest from more customers (via Voting or Comments)

    Regards,
