Configuring SSL Manager for outbound traffic
 
Use the page Configure > SSL > Decryption / Encryption > Inbound to configure how SSL Manager handles inbound traffic. Inbound traffic travels from the browser to SSL Manager, where the content is decrypted and inspected.
1.
Select IP Address to forward authentication credentials to the next proxy.
2.
Select Send VIA-Header to add a special header to the HTTP header to describe the proxy chain traffic passed through. This can be helpful in troubleshooting. If you do not want to include a VIA-Header, do not select this box.
3.
Under Protocol Settings, indicate which protocols you want SSL Manager to support. Supported protocols are SSLv2 and v3, and TLS v1. Select the protocol that your enterprise browser supports; you must select at least one protocol. The default is SSLv2. These settings override the settings for these protocols in the users' browsers.
You can select different protocols for outbound traffic.
4.
The cipher list describes available algorithms and level of encryption between the client and SSL Manager. The default settings indicate to use all available ciphers except the eNULL and the ADH Suite. The strongest cipher (providing the highest level of encryption) is applied first. This can be set to a different level of encryption than for outbound traffic. Setting encryption to a high level for inbound traffic can help ensure the integrity and security of your system.
Additional cipher settings are:
*
High encryption cipher suites: those with key lengths larger than 128 bits, and some cipher suites with 128-bit keys.
*
Medium encryption cipher suites: those using 128 bit encryption.
*
Low encryption cipher suites: those using 64- or 56-bit encryption algorithms but excluding export cipher suites.
For inbound requests (requests from a client browser in your organization to SSL Manager), consider using Low encryption to improve performance.
For more information on ciphers, refer to www.openssl.org/docs.
