Enabling support for Mercury EP and LP firmware 1.x.x controllers

2025-04-15Last updated

Before you can integrate Mercury EP or LP firmware 1.x.x controllers on your Streamvault™ appliance, you must enable an older SSL cipher suite.

What you should know

Depending on your integration, one of the following cipher suites must be added to allow the units to communicate with the appliance:
Mercury LP controller integration on firmware 1.31 and earlier
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
Mercury EP controller integration on firmware 1.29.7 and earlier
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA

Procedure

  1. In Windows, run gpedit.msc to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
  2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > SSL Configuration Settings .
  3. Double-click SSL Cipher Suite Order.
  4. In the Options pane, in the SSL Cipher Suites field, add a comma to the end of the list followed by the cipher suite applicable to your integration. Don't add any spaces.
  5. Click OK to save the Group Policy Object (GPO).
