Chapter 4 Configuring SSL Termination
Configuring a Service for SSL Termination
Creating an SSL Service
When creating a service for use with an SSL module, you must identify it as an SSL
service for the CSS to recognize it. For additional details on creating a service, refer
to the Cisco Content Services Switch Content Load-Balancing Configuration
Guide.
Enter the SSL service name, from 1 to 31 characters.
To create service ssl_serv1, enter:
(config)# service ssl_serv1
Create service <ssl_serv1>, [y/n]: y
The CSS transitions into the newly created service mode.
(config-service[ssl_serv1])#
Specifying the SSL Acceleration Service Type
After you create the SSL service and the CSS enters into service mode, you must
specify ssl-accel as the service type to:
• Configure the service as an SSL acceleration service.
• Add the SSL proxy list to an SSL service.
Use the type command to specify the SSL acceleration service type. For details on
specifying an SSL service type, refer to the Cisco Content Services Switch
Content Load-Balancing Configuration Guide.
To specify the SSL acceleration service type, enter:
(config-service[ssl_serv1])# type ssl-accel
