Advanced SSL profile configuration

6

To configure this feature, use commands such as the following:

ServerIronADX(config)#ssl profile sp1

ServerIronADX(config-ssl-profile-sp1)# cipher-suite rsa-with-aes-128-sha

ServerIronADX(config-ssl-profile-sp1)# cipher-suite rsa-with-rc4-128-md5

ServerIronADX(config-ssl-profile-sp1)# cipher-suite rsa-with-rc4-128-sha

Specifying a certificate file

Each SSL profile must be associated with a certificate file that was either imported or self
generated as described in

“Chained certificates”

on page 139. The following example uses the

certificate-file command to associate the certificate file named "certfile1" with the "profile1" SSL
profile.

ServerIronADX(config)# ssl profile profile1

ServerIronADX(config-ssl-profile-profile1)# certificate-file certfile1

Syntax: certificate-file <certificate-file-name>

The <certificate-file-name> variable is an ASCII string that specifies a certificate file that either self
generated on the ServerIronADX using the ssl gencert command or imported into the
ServerIronADX as described in

“Chained certificates”

on page 139.
