9. Apply and save your configuration.
Clients retrieving RTSP://Globalnews.com/saleswebcast.rm hash to the same media server—1,
2, 3, or 4.
A client request of the form RTSP://120.10.10.20/../Globalnews1.mov is load balanced between
RTSP Servers 5 and 6 using string matching. A client request of the form RTSP://120.10.10.20/
../Globalnews2.mov is load balanced between RTSP Servers 7 and 8.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) SLB
Alteon can provide SSL offloading services to any application. For HTTP over SSL (HTTPS), Alteon
offers comprehensive support (see Offloading SSL Encryption and Authentication, page 337). For
other applications that do not require special SSL support, Alteon can provide simple SSL offloading
where the SSL is decrypted and forwarded to the servers.
Applications that require special SSL support and are not supported by Alteon include FTPS, POPS,
SMTPS.
For Alteon to perform SSL offloading, you must define an SSL virtual service and associate both a
server certificate and an SSL policy to it. As with other Alteon features, the virtual service is
assigned to an application, in this case either HTTPS or another protocol encrypted by SSL.
For details on defining SSL policies, see SSL Policies, page 338
. For details on defining server
certificates, see Certificate Repository, page 338.
The following procedures are discussed in this section:
• Associating an SSL Policy to a Virtual Service, page 299
• Associating a Server Certificate to a Virtual Service, page 300
Associating an SSL Policy to a Virtual Service
When configuring an SSL virtual service, you must associate an SSL policy which defines the SSL
behavior.
To associate an SSL Policy to a virtual service
1. Access the Virtual Server Service menu for the virtual service to which you want to associate an
SSL policy. In this example, Virtual Server 1 is associated with a general SSL application.
2. Enter a new SSL policy ID (1 to 32 characters).
The following message displays
>> Real server 8# apply
>> Real server 8# save
>> Main# /cfg/slb/virt 1/service 12345/ssl/sslpol
Current SSL policy:
Enter new SSL policy or none:
For SSL policy configuration use /cfg/slb/ssl/sslpol
