SSL Decryption


	Important All SSL decryption settings should be made in the Content Gateway manager. None of the variables in the table below should be modified directly in records.config.


Configuration Variable	Data Type	Default Value	Description
proxy.config. ssl.enabled	INT	1	When enabled (1), Content Gateway accepts SSL connections and performs URL filtering before establishing a connection with the origin server. See proxy.config. ssl_decryption. use_decryption to enable SSL decryption.

proxy.config.ssl.client.TLSv12	INT	1	When enabled (1), Content Gateway accepts TLSv1.2 connections from origin servers. (In this case, "client" refers to Content Gateway's role as client to the origin server.)
proxy.config.ssl.server. cipherlist_option	STRING	Default	Specifies the client-to-proxy cipher setting. Values are: Default High Medium Low See SSL configuration settings for inbound traffic.
proxy.config.ssl.server. cipherlist	STRING	ALL:!ADH:@STRENGTH:!EXP	The cipher list that corresponds to the cipher_list option setting.

proxy.config.ssl.client. session_cache	INT	1	Enables (1) or disables the SSL client session cache.
proxy.config.ssl.client. session_cache_timeout	INT	300	Specifies the SSL client session cache timeout period. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

proxy.config.ssl.CA. cert.filename	STRING	NULL	Specifies the name of the file containing the list of CAs that Content Gateway will accept from a client. When the connection is from the client to Content Gateway and the value of proxy.config. ssl.client.certification_level is 1 or 2, Content Gateway sends the CA list to client.
