Enable SSLv3 Support on NSX Edge Load Balancer:
On NSX 6.1.4 and later, SSLv3 support is disabled by default in NSX Edge Load Balancer. To enable SSLv3 support in NSX Edge Load Balancer, use the NSX Manager UI to add an application rule containing the script sslv3 enable, and associate it with a virtual server configured with the https protocol.
First, add an application rule containing the sslv3 enable script as shown here:
Next, associate the application rule with a virtual server:
After you saved the rule and its association, it is visible in the Virtual Server Details pane, as shown below. SSLv3 support is now enabled for HTTPS connections to this virtual server.
Disable SSLv3 Support on NSX Edge Load Balancer
By default, SSLv3 support is disabled in NSX Edge Load Balancer. If SSLv3 support has been enabled on your NSX Edge Load Balancer, and you wish to disable it again, use the NSX Manager UI to remove the virtual server's application rule containing the script sslv3 enable.
