-## Use Azure Resource Explorer to update an App Service Environment

-Alternatively, you can update the App Service Environment by using [Azure Resource Explorer](https://resources.azure.com).
-
-1. In Resource Explorer, go to the node for the App Service Environment (**subscriptions** > **{your Subscription}** > **resourceGroups** > **{your Resource Group}** > **providers** > **Microsoft.Web** > **hostingEnvironments**). Then click the specific App Service Environment that you want to update.
-2. In the right pane, click **Read/Write** in the upper toolbar to allow interactive editing in Resource Explorer.  
-3. Click the blue **Edit** button to make the Resource Manager template editable.
-4. Scroll to the bottom of the right pane. The **clusterSettings** attribute is at the very bottom, where you can enter or update its value.

 Setting InternalEncryption to true encrypts internal network traffic in your App Service Environment between the front ends and workers, encrypts the pagefile and also encrypts the worker disks. After the InternalEncryption clusterSetting is enabled, there can be an impact to your system performance. When you make the change to enable InternalEncryption, your App Service Environment will be in an unstable state until the change is fully propagated. Complete propagation of the change can take a few hours to complete, depending on how many instances you have in your App Service Environment. We highly recommend that you do not enable InternalEncryption on an App Service Environment while it is in use. If you need to enable InternalEncryption on an actively used App Service Environment, we highly recommend that you divert traffic to a backup environment until the operation completes.

 ## Change TLS cipher suite order
 
 App Service Environment supports changing the cipher suite from the default. The default set of ciphers is the same set that is used in the multi-tenant App Service. Changing the cipher suite is only possible with App Service Environment, the single-tenant offering, not the multi-tenant offering, because changing it affects the entire App Service deployment. There are two cipher suites that are required for an App Service Environment: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 and TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256. Additionally, you should include the following cipher suites, which are required for TLS 1.3: TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 and TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256.
