SSL Acceleration
TABLE 1-3 shows which SSL accelerated algorithms may be off-loaded to hardware
and which software algorithms are provided for Sun ONE and Apache Web Servers.
Bulk Encryption
The Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 bulk encryption feature for Sun ONE server
software is disabled by default. You must manually enable this feature by creating a
file and restarting the Sun ONE server software.
To enable Sun ONE server software to use bulk encryption on the Sun Crypto
Accelerator 4000 board, you simply create an empty file in the
/etc/opt/SUNWconn/cryptov2/ directory named sslreg, and restart the server
software.
To disable the bulk encryption feature, you must delete the sslreg file and restart
the server software.
The bulk encryption feature for Apache Web Server software is enabled by default
and cannot be disabled.
