Prefixes for Numeric Data in SSL Certificates | Citrix Systems 9.2

Chapter 7 Advanced Expressions: Parsing SSL Certificates 143

Prefixes That Return Text or Boolean Values for SSL and Client Certificate Data

Prefix	Description

CLIENT.SSL.CIPHER_NAME	Returns the name of the SSL Cipher if invoked
	from an SSL connection, and a NULL string if
	invoked from a non-SSL connection.
CLIENT.SSL.IS_SSL	Returns a Boolean TRUE if the current connection
	is SSL-based.

Prefixes for Numeric Data in SSL Certificates

The following table describes prefixes that evaluate numeric data other than dates in SSL certificates. These prefixes can be used with the operations that are described in “Basic Operations on Expression Prefixes,” on page 44 and “Compound Operations for Numbers,” on page 48.

Prefixes That Evaluate Numeric Data Other Than Dates in SSL Certificates

Prefix	Description

CLIENT.SSL.CLIENT_CERT.	Returns the number of days that the certificate is
DAYS_TO_EXPIRE	valid, or returns -1 for expired certificates.
CLIENT.SSL.CLIENT_CERT.	Returns the size of the public key used in the
PK_SIZE	certificate.
CLIENT.SSL.CLIENT_CERT.	Returns the version number of the certificate. If the
VERSION	connection is not SSL-based, returns zero (0).
CLIENT.SSL.CIPHER_BITS	Returns the number of bits in the cryptograhic key.
	Returns 0 if the connection is not SSL based.
CLIENT.SSL.VERSION	Returns a number that represents the SSL protocol
	version, as follows:
	• 0. The transaction is not SSL based.
	• 0x002. The transaction is SSLv2.
	• 0x300. The transaction is SSLv3.
	• 0x301. The transaction is TLSv1.

Note: For expressions related to expiration dates in a certificate, see “Expressions for SSL Certificate Dates,” on page 101.

Expressions for SSL Certificates

You can parse SSL certificates by configuring expressions that use the following prefix:
