Configuration Prerequisites 
If the SSL server is configured to authenticate the SSL client, when configuring the SSL client policy, 
you need to specify the PKI domain to be used for obtaining the certificate of the client. Therefore, 
before configuring an SSL client policy, you must configure a PKI domain. For details about PKI 
domain configuration, refer to PKI Configuration in the Security Volume. 
Configuration Procedure 
Follow these steps to configure an SSL client policy: 
To do…  Use the command…  Remarks 
Enter system view  system-view  — 
Create an SSL client policy and 
enter its view 
ssl client-policy policy-name  Required 
Specify a PKI domain for the 
SSL client policy 
pki-domain domain-name 
Required 
No PKI domain is configured by 
default.  
Specify the preferred cipher 
suite for the SSL client policy 
prefer-cipher 
{ rsa_aes_128_cbc_sha | 
rsa_des_cbc_sha | 
rsa_rc4_128_md5 | 
rsa_rc4_128_sha } 
Optional 
rsa_rc4_128_md5 by default 
Specify the SSL protocol 
version for the SSL client policy 
version { ssl3.0 | tls1.0 } 
Optional 
TLS 1.0 by default 
 
 
If you enable client authentication on the server, you must request a local certificate for the client.
