SSL Management Service Configuration Mode Commands

SSL management services lets you configure SSL parameters used for secure communications between the Central Manager and the WAE devices. To configure secure socket layer (SSL) encryption management service parameters on a WAAS device, use the crypto ssl management-service global configuration command. To delete a parameter use the no form of the command.

crypto ssl management-service

no crypto ssl management-service

 
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

 
Defaults

No default behavior or values.

 
Command Modes

global configuration

Device Modes

application-accelerator

central-manager

 
Usage Guidelines

Use the crypto ssl management-service command to configure management services. The crypto ssl management-service command initiates SSL management service configuration mode, as indicated by the following prompt:

WAE(config-ssl-mgmt)#
 

Within SSL management service configuration mode, you can use the SSL management service configuration commands. To return to global configuration mode, enter exit at the SSL management service configuration mode prompt.

Examples

The following example shows how to enter SSL management service configuration mode:

WAE(config)# crypto ssl management-service
WAE(config-ssl-mgmt)# exit
WAE(config)#
 

 
Related Commands

(config-ssl-mgmt) cipher-list

(config-ssl-mgmt) peer-cert-verify

(config-ssl-mgmt) version

(config-ssl-mgmt) cipher-list

To configure secure socket layer (SSL) encryption cipher lists on a WAAS device, use the cipher-list command. To delete a cipher list use the no form of the command.

cipher-list cipher-list-name

no cipher-list cipher-list-name

 
Syntax Description

cipher-list-name

Name of the cipher list you want to create or edit. The cipher list name may contain up to 64 characters.

 
Defaults

No default behavior or values.

 
Command Modes

Usage Guidelines

A cipher list is customer list of cipher suites that you assign to an SSL connection. (See the SSL Cipher List Configuration Mode Commands chapter for more information.)

Examples

The following example shows how to enter SSL management service configuration mode, and then create or edit a cipher list called myciphers. If the cipher list is already established on the WAAS device, the cipher-list command edits it. If the cipher list does not exist, the cipher-list command creates it:

WAE(config)# crypto ssl services management-service
WAE(config-ssl-mgmt)# cipher-list myciphers

(config-ssl-mgmt) peer-cert-verify

To enable verification of peer certificates, use the peer-cert-verify command.

peer-cert-verify [revocation-check none]

 
Syntax Description

revocation-check none

(Optional) Specifies a revocation check null method that returns revocation success.

 
Defaults

No default behavior or values.

 
Command Modes

Device Modes

application-accelerator

central-manager

 
Usage Guidelines

SSL peering service configuration parameters control secure communications established by the SSL accelerator between WAE devices while optimizing SSL connections.

If peer certificate verification is enabled, WAAS devices that use self-signed certificates will not be able to establish peering connections to each other and not be able to accelerate SSL traffic.

To disable OCSP certificate revocation checking, set the revocation check value to none.

Examples

The following example shows how to enter SSL management service configuration mode, and then set the revocation check method to none:

WAE(config)# crypto ssl management-service
WAE(config-ssl-mgmt)# peer-cert-verify revocation-check none

(config-ssl-mgmt) version

To specify the type of SSL protocol to use for management services, use the version command.

version {all | ssl3 | tls1}

 
Syntax Description

version tls1

version ssl3

version all

Specifies TLS1 for the SSL version 3 protocol.

Specifies SSL3 for the Transport Layer Security version 1 protocol.

Specifies ALL to use both SSL3 and TLS1 SSL protocols.

 
Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Examples

The following example shows how to enter SSL management service configuration mode, and then set the protocol to SSL version 3:

WAE(config)# crypto ssl management-service
WAE(config-ssl-mgmt)# version SSL3
