Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using the CLI

Chapter 74 Configuring Clientless SSL VPN

Optimizing Clientless SSL VPN Performance

Detailed Steps

Configuring Content Transformation

By default, the ASA processes all clientless SSL VPN traffic through a content transformation/rewriting
engine that includes advanced elements such as JavaScript and Java to proxy HTTP traffic that may have
different semantics and access control rules depending on whether the user is accessing an application
within or independently of an SSL VPN device.

Some web resources require highly individualized treatment. The following sections describe
functionality that provides such treatment:

Configuring a Certificate for Signing Rewritten Java Content

Disabling Content Rewrite

Using Proxy Bypass

Configuring Application Profile Customization Framework

Subject to the requirements of your organization and the web content involved, you might use one of
these features.

Configuring a Certificate for Signing Rewritten Java Content

Java objects which have been transformed by clientless SSL VPN can subsequently be signed using a
PKCS12 digital certificate associated with a trustpoint.
