Chapter 3 Commands Specific to the Content Switching Module with SSL

ssl-proxy service

In most cases, all of the SSL-server-proxy configurations that are performed are also valid for the SSL-client-proxy configuration, except for the following:

You must configure a certificate for the SSL-server-proxy but you do not have to configure a certificate for the SSL-client-proxy. If you configure a certificate for the SSL-client-proxy, that certificate is sent in response to the certificate request message that is sent by the server during the client-authentication phase of the handshake protocol.

The SSL policy is attached to the virtual subcommand for ssl-server-proxy where as it is attached to server SSL-client-proxy subcommand.

Enter each proxy-service or proxy-client configuration submode command on its own line.

Table 3-8lists the commands that are available in proxy-service or proxy-client configuration submode.

Proxy-service Configuration Submode Command Descriptions

 

 

 

Syntax

 

Description

 

 

authenticate verify {all signature-only}

Configures the method for certificate verification. You can specify the

 

 

following:

 

 

all—Verifies CRLs and signature authority.

 

 

signature-only—Verifies the signature only.

 

 

certificate rsa general-purpose trustpoint

Configures the certificate with RSA general-purpose keys and associates a

trustpoint-name

 

trustpoint to the certificate.

 

 

default {certificate inservice nat server

Sets a command to its default settings.

virtual}

 

 

 

 

 

exit

 

Exits from proxy-service or proxy-client configuration submode.

 

 

 

help

 

Provides a description of the interactive help system.

 

 

 

inservice

 

Declares a proxy server or client as administratively up.

 

 

nat {server client natpool-name}

Specifies the usage of either server NAT or client NAT for the server-side

 

 

connection that is opened by the Content Switching Module with SSL.

 

 

policy urlrewrite policy-name

Applies a URL rewrite policy to a proxy server.

 

 

server ipaddr ip-addrprotocol protocol

Defines the IP address of the target server for the proxy server. You can also

port portno [sslv2]

specify the port number and the transport protocol. The target IP address can

 

 

be a virtual IP address of an SLB device or a real IP address of a web server.

 

 

The sslv2 keyword specifies the server that is used for handling SSL

 

 

version 2 traffic.

 

 

server policy tcp

Applies a TCP policy to the server side of a proxy server. You can specify the

server-side-tcp-policy-name

port number and the transport protocol.

 

 

trusted-caca-pool-name

Applies a trusted certificate authenticate configuration to a proxy server.

 

 

virtual {ipaddr ip-addr} {protocol

Defines the virtual IP address of the virtual server to which the STE is

protocol} {port portno} secondary

proxying. You can also specify the port number and the transport protocol.

 

 

The valid values for protocol are tcp;valid values for portno is from 1 to

 

 

65535. The secondary keyword (required) prevents the STE from replying to

 

 

the ARP request coming to the virtual IP address.

 

 

virtual {policy ssl ssl-policy-name}

Applies an SSL policy with the client side of a proxy server.

 

 

virtual {policy tcp

Applies a TCP policy to the client side of a proxy server.

client-side-tcp-policy-name}
