Description

ADC vservers not enabled with TLS 1.2 or above will not be able to connect and the browser will show a full page interstitial warning after upgrade to Chrome v84 

Resolution

  • Citrix ADC has TLS 1.2 enabled by default and most of the transactions happen on TLS 1.2 on ADC when using Chrome. 
  • For any reason, if you have explicitly disabled TLS 1.2 on vserver, please review the reason and enable it to avoid any issues with Chrome 84 release.
  • To enable TLS 1.2 , please use the below command
>set ssl vserver v1 -tls12 EN

Problem Cause

With release 84, Chrome is going to disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and only TLS 1.2 and above will be supported.

Note: Chrome v84 is scheduled to release in July 2020(tentative date)

Issue/Introduction

This article gives information on how to avoid issues with Chrome v84 by enabling TLSv1.2 or above if explicitly disabled on ADC vservers
