Symptoms

If a cipher rule is changed, and a cipher group that uses the rule is attached to an SSL profile, the change does not take effect until something else on the SSL profile changes.

Impact

Unexpected behavior occurs because the cipher rule change does not take effect immediately.

Conditions

-- A cipher group is used by an SSL profile. -- One of its cipher rules changes.

Workaround

After changing the cipher rule that's used by a cipher group, make a change to any SSL profile that uses the associated cipher group.

Fix Information

Any changes to a cipher rule or cipher group now takes immediate effect.
