Does the TZ300 support SHA256 auth for VPN connections?

_Adam · May 2020

Hello,

This isn't exactly "SSL VPN", but I figured that was the closest available choice of category.

Can anyone confirm that the TZ300 supports SHA256 authentication for VPN connections? I've looked at a number of documents and videos and am getting conflicting information. We have a new client that requires it and are considering the TZ300.

Thanks very much!

Hi @_Adam ,

Yes , TZ 300 do support SHA 256 for VPN connections. I have attached the relevant KB article below for reference:

https://www.sonicwall.com/support/knowledge-base/sha-2-sha-256-sha-384-sha-512-support-in-sonicos-6-2-and-above/170504384466586/

For SSLVPN, if you check the self-signed certificate being used it will show Signature Algorithm:sha256WithRSAEncryption. If you using custom certificate then please ensure that the certificate request should be generated using SHA256.

For the WAN group VPN and Site to site VPN you can select SHA256 from the drop down list for Authentication under Proposal tab.

Please do let us know if there is any more information you are looking for.

Thanks
