Scenario 5—Configuring a Firewall

This scenario describes the recommended network configuration to
allow a SA7100/SA7120 to provide SSL services for a single server
that also serves plain-text HTTP documents. Actual procedures for
adjusting the firewall and server configurations vary widely
depending upon the products used, so the steps outlined here are
necessarily approximations and must be adjusted as required by the
particulars of your environment. Please consult your server and
firewall documentation for additional information.

Server
Configuration

Servers providing both HTTP and HTTPS services typically have
two instances of the Web Server process configured:

One listening on the standard HTTP port of 80, providing
unencrypted access to non-sensitive information, and

Another listening on port 443 providing access to SSL encrypted
sensitive information.

For the SA7120 to provide SSL services, the web server process
providing port 443 services requires two modifications.
