protocol ssl backend client-tls-1.2
Enables Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions 1.1 and 1.2 encryption protocol support between the SSL client and the SteelHead.
Syntax
[no] protocol ssl backend client-tls-1.2
Parameters
None
Usage
TLS version 1.2 is enabled by default starting in RiOS 9.2. This update is automatic for new manufactures and software updates.
For releases prior to RiOS 9.2, you must enable this command on both the server-side and client-side SteelHeads for PKD mode support of TLSv1.2. TLSv1.2 connections from the client are bypassed if support is not enabled on both appliances.
This command determines how the SteelHeads handle the SSL connection from the client. This activity is normally negotiated at the server-side SteelHead. In distributed termination mode, the client-side SteelHead can also negotiate the SSL connections.
Use the show running-config command to determine whether or not this command is enabled. This command requires an optimization service restart.
Example
amnesiac (config) # protocol ssl backend client-tls-1.2
amnesiac (config) # service restart
