Basic steps for configuring SNI support
Server name indication (SNI) is a transport layer security extension to the HTTPS/TLS protocol. With SNI, the first TLS client hello handshake message sent to the HTTPS server includes the requested virtual hostname to which the client is connecting. Because the server is aware of the hostname, it returns a host-specific security certificate.
To enable SNI acceleration, the server-side SteelHeads must be running RiOS 9.7 or later.
Complete these tasks at the Client Accelerator Controller and the SteelHead:
1. On the controller, enable TLS Optimization. Choose Manage > Services: Policies. Click the policy name and select the SSL tab. Under General SSL Settings, select Enable SSL Optimization. For details, see
About policy settings for HTTPS/TLS. 2. On the SteelHead, enable SNI. Choose Optimization > SSL: Advanced Settings. Under TLS Settings, select Enable SNI. For details, see the SteelHead User Guide.
