protocol ssl backend sni enable
Configures server name indication (SNI) settings.
Syntax
[no] protocol ssl backend sni enable
Parameters
None
Usage
SNI provides SSL clients a method to explicitly identify the server they are trying to contact. The server can then determine the correct SSL client for the request and properly set up the connection. Many virtual SSL clients can share the same IP address and port, and each client can own a unique certificate.
SNI support enables:
• the use of the SNI in the certificate selection process.
• the verification of the name fields in the proxy certificate against the client request.
