Advanced SSL profile configuration
6
Configuring a session cache timeout
By default, SSL sessions are held in the cache for 30 seconds. You can change the time period a
session is in cache, as shown in the following.
ServerIronADX(config)# ssl profile profile1
ServerIronADX(config-ssl-profile-profile1)# session-cache-timeout
Syntax: [no] session-cache-timeout <timeout-in-seconds>
The <timeout-in-seconds> variable can be set to a value between 20 and 86400 seconds. The
default value is 30 seconds.
Enabling SSL Version 2
By default, the ServerIronADX supports SSL version 3. You can enable SSL version 2 as shown in
the following example.
To do this, enter the following command under the SSL profile:
ServerIronADX(config)# ssl profile profile1
ServerIronADX(config-ssl-profile-profile1)# enable-ssl-v2
Syntax: [no] enable-ssl-v2
SSLv2 is disabled by default.
Enabling close notify
You can configure a ServerIronADX to send an alert before closing an SSL session as shown in the
following.
ServerIronADX(config)# ssl profile profile1
ServerIronADX(config-ssl-profile-profile1)# enable-close-notify
Syntax: [no] enable-close-notify
When this command is configured, the ServerIronADX will send an alert before closing an SSL
session. By default, a ServerIronADX does not send a close notify alert before closing an SSL
session.
Disabling certificate verification
You can configure an ServerIron ADX to disable certificate verification as shown in the following:
ServerIronADX(config)# ssl profile profile1
ServerIronADX(config-ssl-profile-profile1)# disable-certificate-checking
Syntax: [no] disable-certificate-checking
This command only applies to SSL proxy mode. When a
ServerIron ADX is in SSL proxy mode, it acts
as a client for the backend server.
By default, if the server sends a certificate with the wrong information, the ServerIron ADX will
reject it. If this command is configured, the ServerIron ADX will accept an invalid certificate.
