SSL Initiation
SSL initiation enables the CSS to receive clear text from a client and then to
originate an SSL seesion with an SSL server and join the client connection with
the SSL back-end connection. The SSL server can either be a CSS configured for
SSL termination (virtual SSL server) or a real back-end SSL server (Web server).
On the outbound flow, the CSS decrypts the SSL data from the server and sends
clear text back to the client. For more information about SSL initiation in the CSS,
see Chapter 6, Configuring SSL Initiation.
For more detailed information on the SSL module functions, see the “Processing
of SSL Flows by the SSL Module” section in Chapter 8, Examples of CSS SSL
Configurations.
