Zabbix PSK Encryption and Ciphers

Modified on Mon, 25 Jul, 2022 at 2:13 PM

Zabbix Server option:

TLSCipherPSK13=TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256


Proxy server option:

TLSCipherPSK13=TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256


This forces proxies to communicate to the server via the above ciphers in order. To check what ciphers a server supports run this command:


openssl ciphers -v | column -t

Disable CBC ciphers in apache:


edit /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ssl.conf


SSLCipherSuite HIGH:!RSA:!CAMELLIA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!3DES:!MD5:!EXP:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS:!RC4:!SHA1:!SHA256:!SHA384

SSLOptions +StrictRequire -OptRenegotiate

edit /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf

SSLCipherSuite HIGH:!RSA:!CAMELLIA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!3DES:!MD5:!EXP:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS:!RC4:!SHA1:!SHA256:!SHA384

SSLOptions +StrictRequire -OptRenegotiate
