        The text name of the specified security policy.

      • SshCiphers (list) –

        Lists the enabled Secure Shell (SSH) cipher encryption algorithms in the security policy that is attached to the server or connector. This parameter applies to both server and connector security policies.

        • (string) –

      • SshKexs (list) –

        Lists the enabled SSH key exchange (KEX) encryption algorithms in the security policy that is attached to the server or connector. This parameter applies to both server and connector security policies.

        • (string) –

      • SshMacs (list) –

        Lists the enabled SSH message authentication code (MAC) encryption algorithms in the security policy that is attached to the server or connector. This parameter applies to both server and connector security policies.

        • (string) –

      • TlsCiphers (list) –

        Lists the enabled Transport Layer Security (TLS) cipher encryption algorithms in the security policy that is attached to the server.
