Does the Sonicwall TZ 200 support SHA256

gparker919 · September 14

Hey there!

Hoping someone can help me.

Trying to confirm that the TZ200 supports SHA256 authentication for VPN connections? I've seen where the TZ300 does but can't find anything that the TZ200 does. We support a user that has to upgrade his SHA-1 to SHA-2 or SHA256 but does not have the option the Signature Algorithm dropdown in the CSR screen.

Thanks,

Greg

These are the options available on Gen7 firewalls.

For the CSR creation, there is no option for the Signature Algorithm selection. This is a screen capture from a SOHO device running 5.9.2.14. TZ200 firewalls were end of life back in 2018, so your firmware must be quite old also.

Thank you MustafaA! I am going to assume that is a no on supporting SHA256?

Best regards,

Hello again - If we upgraded the Sonicwall to a TZ270 Network Security Appliance, would we be able to do a self-signed SSL certificate with SHA-2. Can't find anything definitive, and trying to avoid the cost of purchasing and upkeeping a CA cert but satisfy the PCI requirement.

Thank you again for all your help.
