serverssl-insecure-compatible for unsecure ports
Hi All,
Is there an issue if we use serverssl-insecure-compatible for unsecure ports? Have a VIP with serverssl, pool members on 9093 port. Changed to serverssl-insecure-compatible and it works.
Does serverssl works only on known ports?
Thanks, Aditya

Hello Aditya,
You should be able to use the 'serverssl-insecure-compatible' SSL profile for any of the services, regardless of whether it's a standard port or not. The difference between 'serverssl-insecure-compatible', 'serverssl' or any of the other default/base profiles we have is the settings within the profiles, particularly the cipher string. You can build custom profiles using 'serverssl-insecure-compatible' or 'serverssl' as the parent profile and have your own custom cipher string, certificate/key, client authentication (if applicable) settings etc as per your application/environment needs.

Thanks Ashwin,
So serverssl can also be used if the pool members are not using the standard ports, if we have the relevant ciphers added?
