Chapter 6 Configuring SSL Initiation
Configuring a Service for SSL Initiation
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. You can create multiple SSL services for use with
an SSL initiation content rule. 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 to the service mode.
(config-service[ssl_serv1])#
Configuring the SSL Service Type
You must configure the ssl-init service type for an SSL initiation service. To
configure a service type for an SSL initiation service, enter:
(config-service[server1]# type ssl-init
Configuring an IP Address for an SSL Initiation Service
The IP address for an SSL initiation service must match the IP address configured
in the SSL proxy list for the SSL initiation back-end server (the backend
server-ip address).
For example, to configure the IP address 192.168.21.7 for the SSL initiation
service, enter:
(config-service[server1])# ip address 192.168.21.7
To remove the IP address for the SSL initiation service, enter:
(config-service[server1])# no ip address
