SSL commands

certificate-chain-sending enable

Use certificate-chain-sending enable to enable the SSL server to send the complete certificate chain to the client during SSL negotiation.

Use undo certificate-chain-sending enable to restore the default.

Syntax

certificate-chain-sending enable

undo certificate-chain-sending enable

Default

During SSL negotiation, the SSL server sends the server certificate rather than the complete certificate chain to the client.

rsa_rc4_128_sha: Specifies key exchange algorithm RSA, data encryption algorithm 128-bit RC4, and MAC algorithm SHA.

Usage guidelines

SSL employs the following algorithms:

·     Data encryption algorithms—Encrypt data to ensure privacy. Commonly used data encryption algorithms are usually symmetric key algorithms, such as DES_CBC, 3DES_EDE_CBC, AES_CBC, and RC4. When using a symmetric key algorithm, the SSL server and the SSL client must use the same key.

·     Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms—Calculate the MAC value for data to ensure integrity. Commonly used MAC algorithms include MD5 and SHA. When using a MAC algorithm, the SSL server and the SSL client must use the same key.

·     Key exchange algorithms—Implement secure exchange of the keys used by the symmetric key algorithm and the MAC algorithm. Commonly used key exchange algorithms are usually asymmetric key algorithms, such as RSA.

After the SSL server receives a cipher suite from a client, the server matches the received cipher suite against the cipher suits it supports. If a match is found, the cipher suite negotiation succeeds. Otherwise, the negotiation fails.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Examples

# Configure SSL server policy policy1 to support the following cipher suites:

·     Key exchange algorithm DHE RSA, data encryption algorithm 128-bit AES, and MAC algorithm SHA.

·     Key exchange algorithm RSA, data encryption algorithm 128-bit AES, and MAC algorithm SHA.

client-verify

Use client-verify to enable mandatory or optional SSL client authentication.

Use undo client-verify to restore the default.

Syntax

client-verify { enable | optional }

undo client-verify [ enable ]

Default

SSL client authentication is disabled. The SSL server does not authenticate SSL clients based on digital certificates.

Views

network-admin

Parameters

enable: Enables mandatory SSL client authentication.

optional: Enables optional SSL client authentication.

Usage guidelines

SSL uses digital certificates to authenticate communicating parties. For more information about digital certificates, see Security Configuration Guide.

Mandatory SSL client authentication—The SSL server requires an SSL client to submit its digital certificate for identity authentication. The SSL client can access the SSL server only after it passes identity authentication.

Optional SSL client authentication—The SSL server does not require an SSL client to submit its digital certificate for identity authentication.

·     If an SSL client submits its certificate to the SSL server, the server authenticates the client identity. The client must pass authentication to access the server.

·     If an SSL client does not submit its certificate to the SSL server, the server does not authenticate the client identity. The client can access the SSL server without authentication.

If SSL client authentication is disabled, the SSL server does not authenticate SSL clients regardless of whether the clients submit digital certificates or not. SSL clients can access the SSL server without authentication.

When authenticating a client by using the digital certificate, the SSL server performs the following operations:

·     Verifies the certificate chain presented by the client.

·     Checks that the certificates in the certificate chain (except the root CA certificate) are not revoked.

Examples

# Enable mandatory SSL client authentication.

<Sysname> system-view

Parameters

cachesize size: Sets the maximum number of cached sessions, in the range of 100 to 20480.

timeout time: Sets the session cache timeout in the range of 1 to 4294967295 seconds.

Usage guidelines

The SSL server caches SSL sessions to reuse negotiated session parameters to simplify SSL handshake. Use this command to limit the maximum number and timeout time for cached sessions. When the number of cached sessions reaches the maximum, SSL does not cache new sessions. When the timeout timer for a cached session expires, SSL deletes the session.

Examples

# Set the maximum number of cached sessions to 600, and the timeout time for cached sessions to 1800 seconds.

Usage guidelines

Use this command to disable SSL 3.0 on a device to enhance system security.

·     An SSL server supports only TLS 1.0 after SSL 3.0 is disabled.

·     An SSL client always uses SSL 3.0 if SSL 3.0 is specified for the client policy, whether you disable SSL 3.0 or not.

To ensure successful establishment of an SSL connection, do not disable SSL 3.0 on a device when the peer device only supports SSL 3.0. As a best practice to improve security, upgrade the peer device to support TLS 1.0.

Examples

# Disable SSL 3.0 on the device.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] ssl version ssl3.0 disable

version

Use version to specify an SSL protocol version for an SSL client policy.

Use undo version to restore the default.

Syntax

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ssl3.0: Specifies SSL 3.0.

tls1.0: Specifies TLS 1.0.

Usage guidelines

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

You can specify SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 for an SSL client policy:

·     If TLS 1.0 is specified and SSL 3.0 is not disabled, the client first uses TLS 1.0 to connect to the SSL server. If the connection attempt fails, the client uses SSL 3.0.

·     If TLS 1.0 is specified and SSL 3.0 is disabled, the client only uses TLS 1.0 to connect to the SSL server.

·     If SSL 3.0 is specified, the client uses SSL 3.0 to connect to the SSL server, whether you disable SSL 3.0 or not.

As a best practice to enhance system security, disable SSL 3.0 on the device and specify TLS 1.0 for an SSL client policy.

Examples

# Set the SSL protocol version to TLS 1.0 for SSL client policy policy1.
