Fix Recommendation

Log in to the FortiGate GUI with Super-Admin privilege.

# set admin-ssh-v1 disable
# end

Check Contents

Log in to the FortiGate GUI with Super-Admin privilege.

1. Open a CLI console, via SSH or available from the GUI.
2. Run the following command:
# show full-configuration system global | grep -i 'tls\|ssh-v'
The output should be:
# set admin-https-ssl-versions tlsv1-2 tlsv1-3
# set admin-ssh-v1 disable
# set ssl-min-proto-version TLSv1-2
#end

If admin-https-ssl-versions is not set to tlsv1-2 tlsv1-3 or admin-ssh-v1 is enable, this is a finding.
