Advanced SSL profile configuration

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

Virtual ADX(config)#ssl profile sp1

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

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

Virtual ADX(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 100. The following example uses the

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

profile.

Virtual ADX(config)#ssl profile profile1

Virtual ADX(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 Brocade Virtual ADX using the ssl gencert command or imported into the Brocade

Virtual ADX as described in “Chained certificates” on page 100.

Advanced SSL profile configuration

This section describes the following advanced SSL configuration options:

• Client authentication

• Enabling Session caching

• Enabling SSLv2

• Enabling close notify

• Disabling Certificate verification

All SSL configuration parameters are configured in the configuration level under the specific SSL

profile. An SSL profile is created using the ssl profile command at the General configuration level

as shown in “Basic SSL profile configuration”.

Configuring client authentication

The following features can be configured for certificate management:

• Enabling certificate verification

• Configuring a CA certificate file

• Creating a certificate revocation list

• Allowing self-signed certificates
