XML configuration files 179
Description
If a virtual host is running in remote mode as a proxy or edge server and you want to
configure the properties of an outgoing SSL connection to an upstream server, then you must
enable this section and configure its SSL tags appropriately.
When Flash Media Server acts as a client to make an outgoing SSL connection, the following
sequence of events takes place:
■ The SSL tags in the Vhost.xml file are evaluated first.
■ If the SSL tags in the Vhost.xml file override the SSL tags in the Server.xml file, Flash
Media Server uses the
SSL tags in the Vhost.xml file to configure the connection.
■ If the SSL tags in the Vhost.xml file match the SSL tags in the Server.xml file, Flash Media
Server uses the default values for
SSL in the Server.xml file to configure the connection.
■ If the SSL tags in a proxy’s Vhost.xml file are not present, Flash Media Server uses the
default values specified in the
SSL section of Server.xml to configure the SSL connection
to upstream servers.
You can also override the configuration for outgoing SSL connections for an individual virtual
host in Vhost.xml by copying the
SSL tags in Server.xml to the corresponding SSL section in
the Vhost.xml file.
For more information on the SSL tags in Server.xml, see “SSL” on page 119.

Streams
This tag specifies the virtual directory mapping for recorded streams.
Description
You can specify multiple virtual directory mappings for streams by adding additional Streams
tags—one for each virtual directory mapping.
Example
<Streams>foo;c:\data</Streams>
NOTE
When Flash Media Server is running in local mode as an origin server, the SSL
information in the vhost.xml file is not evaluated.
