Arguments

vServerName

Name of the SSL virtual server for which to set advanced configuration.

clearTextPort

Port on which clear-text data is sent by the appliance to the server. Do not specify this parameter for SSL offloading with end-to-end encryption. Default value: 0 Maximum value: 65534

dh

State of Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

dhFile

Name of and, optionally, path to the DH parameter file, in PEM format, to be installed. /nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path.

dhCount

Number of interactions, between the client and the Citrix ADC, after which the DH private-public pair is regenerated. A value of zero (0) specifies infinite use (no refresh). Minimum value: 0 Maximum value: 65534

dhKeyExpSizeLimit

This option enables the use of NIST recommended (NIST Special Publication 800-56A) bit size for private-key size. For example, for DH params of size 2048bit, the private-key size recommended is 224bits. This is rounded-up to 256bits.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

eRSA

State of Ephemeral RSA (eRSA) key exchange. Ephemeral RSA allows clients that support only export ciphers to communicate with the secure server even if the server certificate does not support export clients. The ephemeral RSA key is automatically generated when you bind an export cipher to an SSL or TCP-based SSL virtual server or service. When you remove the export cipher, the eRSA key is not deleted. It is reused at a later date when another export cipher is bound to an SSL or TCP-based SSL virtual server or service. The eRSA key is deleted when the appliance restarts.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: ENABLED

eRSACount

Refresh count for regeneration of the RSA public-key and private-key pair. Zero (0) specifies infinite usage (no refresh). Minimum value: 0 Maximum value: 65534

sessReuse

State of session reuse. Establishing the initial handshake requires CPU-intensive public key encryption operations. With the ENABLED setting, session key exchange is avoided for session resumption requests received from the client.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: ENABLED

sessTimeout

Time, in seconds, for which to keep the session active. Any session resumption request received after the timeout period will require a fresh SSL handshake and establishment of a new SSL session. Default value: 120 Minimum value: 0 Maximum value: 4294967294

cipherRedirect

State of Cipher Redirect. If cipher redirect is enabled, you can configure an SSL virtual server or service to display meaningful error messages if the SSL handshake fails because of a cipher mismatch between the virtual server or service and the client.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

cipherURL

The redirect URL to be used with the Cipher Redirect feature.

sslv2Redirect

State of SSLv2 Redirect. If SSLv2 redirect is enabled, you can configure an SSL virtual server or service to display meaningful error messages if the SSL handshake fails because of a protocol version mismatch between the virtual server or service and the client.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

sslv2URL

URL of the page to which to redirect the client in case of a protocol version mismatch. Typically, this page has a clear explanation of the error or an alternative location that the transaction can continue from.

clientAuth

State of client authentication. If client authentication is enabled, the virtual server terminates the SSL handshake if the SSL client does not provide a valid certificate.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

clientCert

Type of client authentication. If this parameter is set to MANDATORY, the appliance terminates the SSL handshake if the SSL client does not provide a valid certificate. With the OPTIONAL setting, the appliance requests a certificate from the SSL clients but proceeds with the SSL transaction even if the client presents an invalid certificate. Caution: Define proper access control policies before changing this setting to Optional.

Possible values: Mandatory, Optional

sslRedirect

State of HTTPS redirects for the SSL virtual server.

For an SSL session, if the client browser receives a redirect message, the browser tries to connect to the new location. However, the secure SSL session breaks if the object has moved from a secure site (https://) to an unsecure site (http://). Typically, a warning message appears on the screen, prompting the user to continue or disconnect. If SSL Redirect is ENABLED, the redirect message is automatically converted from http:// to https:// and the SSL session does not break.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

redirectPortRewrite

State of the port rewrite while performing HTTPS redirect. If this parameter is ENABLED and the URL from the server does not contain the standard port, the port is rewritten to the standard.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

ssl2

State of SSLv2 protocol support for the SSL Virtual Server.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

ssl3

State of SSLv3 protocol support for the SSL Virtual Server. Note: On platforms with SSL acceleration chips, if the SSL chip does not support SSLv3, this parameter cannot be set to ENABLED.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: ENABLED

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

SNIEnable

State of the Server Name Indication (SNI) feature on the virtual server and service-based offload. SNI helps to enable SSL encryption on multiple domains on a single virtual server or service if the domains are controlled by the same organization and share the same second-level domain name. For example, *.sports.net can be used to secure domains such as login.sports.net and help.sports.net.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

ocspStapling

State of OCSP stapling support on the SSL virtual server. Supported only if the protocol used is higher than SSLv3. Possible values: ENABLED: The appliance sends a request to the OCSP responder to check the status of the server certificate and caches the response for the specified time. If the response is valid at the time of SSL handshake with the client, the OCSP-based server certificate status is sent to the client during the handshake. DISABLED: The appliance does not check the status of the server certificate.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

pushEncTrigger

Trigger encryption on the basis of the PUSH flag value. Available settings function as follows: * ALWAYS - Any PUSH packet triggers encryption. * IGNORE - Ignore PUSH packet for triggering encryption. * MERGE - For a consecutive sequence of PUSH packets, the last PUSH packet triggers encryption. * TIMER - PUSH packet triggering encryption is delayed by the time defined in the set ssl parameter command or in the Change Advanced SSL Settings dialog box.

Possible values: Always, Merge, Ignore, Timer

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

zeroRttEarlyData

State of TLS 1.3 0-RTT early data support for the SSL Virtual Server. This setting only has an effect if resumption is enabled, as early data cannot be sent along with an initial handshake. Early application data has significantly different security properties - in particular there is no guarantee that the data cannot be replayed.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

tls13SessionTicketsPerAuthContext

Number of tickets the SSL Virtual Server will issue anytime TLS 1.3 is negotiated, ticket-based resumption is enabled, and either (1) a handshake completes or (2) post-handhsake client auth completes. This value can be increased to enable clients to open multiple parallel connections using a fresh ticket for each connection. No tickets are sent if resumption is disabled. Default value: 1 Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: 10

dheKeyExchangeWithPsk

Whether or not the SSL Virtual Server will require a DHE key exchange to occur when a PSK is accepted during a TLS 1.3 resumption handshake. A DHE key exchange ensures forward secrecy even in the event that ticket keys are compromised, at the expense of an additional round trip and resources required to carry out the DHE key exchange. If disabled, a DHE key exchange will be performed when a PSK is accepted but only if requested by the client. If enabled, the server will require a DHE key exchange when a PSK is accepted regardless of whether the client supports combined PSK-DHE key exchange. This setting only has an effect when resumption is enabled.

Possible values: YES, NO Default value: NO

Example

1)set ssl vserver sslvip -dh ENABLED -dhFile /siteA/dh1024.pem -dhCount 500 The above example set the DH parameters for the SSL virtual server 'sslvip'. 3)set ssl vserver sslvip -ssl2 DISABLED The above example disables the support for SSLv2 protocol for the SSL virtual server 'sslvip'.

bind ssl vserver

Binds an SSL certificate-key pair or an SSL policy to an SSL virtual server.

Synopsis

bind ssl vserver <vServerName>@ ((-policyName <string> [-priority <positive_integer>] [-gotoPriorityExpression <expression>] [-invoke (<labelType> <labelName>) ] [-type <type>]) | ((-certkeyName <string> [(-CA [-crlCheck ( Mandatory | Optional ) | -ocspCheck ( Mandatory | Optional )] [-skipCAName]) | -SNICert] ) | -cipherName <string> | -eccCurveName <eccCurveName>))

Arguments

vServerName

Name of the SSL virtual server.

policyName

Name of the SSL policy to bind to the SSL virtual server.

priority

Integer specifying the policy's priority. The lower the number, the higher the priority. Minimum value: 0 Maximum value: 64000

gotoPriorityExpression

Expression or other value specifying the next policy to be evaluated if the current policy evaluates to TRUE. Specify one of the following values: * NEXT - Evaluate the policy with the next higher priority number. * END - End policy evaluation. * USE_INVOCATION_RESULT - Applicable if this policy invokes another policy label. If the final goto in the invoked policy label has a value of END, the evaluation stops. If the final goto is anything other than END, the current policy label performs a NEXT. * An expression that evaluates to a number. If you specify an expression, the number to which it evaluates determines the next policy to evaluate, as follows: * If the expression evaluates to a higher numbered priority, the policy with that priority is evaluated next. * If the expression evaluates to the priority of the current policy, the policy with the next higher numbered priority is evaluated next. * If the expression evaluates to a number that is larger than the largest numbered priority, policy evaluation ends.

An UNDEF event is triggered if: * The expression is invalid. * The expression evaluates to a priority number that is numerically lower than the current policy's priority. * The expression evaluates to a priority number that is between the current policy's priority number (say, 30) and the highest priority number (say, 100), but does not match any configured priority number (for example, the expression evaluates to the number 85). This example assumes that the priority number increments by 10 for every successive policy, and therefore a priority number of 85 does not exist in the policy label. Default value: "END"
