Viewing Proxy Services Details

Troubleshooting Proxy Services

NAT Pools

You can configure the virtual IP address and port associated with the proxy service, and the associated target server IP address and port. You can define TCP and SSL policies for both client (virtual) and server sides of the proxy.

You can configure SSL client proxy services to specify that the proxy service accepts clear text traffic, encrypts the traffic into SSL traffic, and forwards the traffic to the backend SSL server.

While you are required to configure a certificate for the SSL server proxy, you are not required to configure a certificate for SSL client proxy. If you configure the certificate for the SSL client proxy, that certificate is sent in response to the Certificate Request message that is sent by the server during the client authentication phase of the handshake protocol.

Proxy Service Wizards

CVDM-SSLSM supports the following proxy service wizards. You can use the basic Proxy Service Wizard to configure a proxy service and assign a certificate. The advanced proxy service wizards helps you to configure the proxy service, assign a certificate and policies, and configure peer certificate authentication.

NAT Pools

CVDM-SSLSM allows you to create Network Address Translation (NAT) pools.

Figure 7-5 NAT Pools

This section describes the following topics:

Viewing NAT Pools

Adding NAT Pools

Deleting NAT Pools

Assigning NAT Pools to Proxy Services

Understanding NAT Pools

Client connections originate from the client and are terminated on the SSL Services Module. Server connections originate from the SSL Services Module.

You can configure client NAT, server NAT, or both, on the server connection.

Server NAT

If you configure server NAT, the server IP address is used as the destination IP address for the server connection. If the server NAT is not configured, the destination IP address for the server connection is the same as the virtual IP address for which SSL Services Module is a proxy.

Client NAT

If you configure client NAT, the server connection source IP address and port are derived from a NAT pool. If client NAT is not configured, the server connection source IP address and port are derived from the source IP address and source port of the client connection.

Allocate enough IP addresses to satisfy the total number of connections supported by the SSL Services Module (256,000 connections). Assuming you have 32,000 ports per IP address, configure 8 IP addresses in the NAT pool. If you try to configure fewer IP addresses than required by the total connections supported by the SSL Services Module, the command is rejected.

Troubleshooting Proxy Services

This section describes the proxy service operations status and the possible cause.

Proxy Service Operation Status
Possible Cause/Action

No cert

The certificate Trustpoint associated with the proxy service does not have a valid certificate or the certificate chain is incomplete.

You must make sure that the Trustpoint has a valid certificate and that the certificate chain is complete.

No Virtual IP

Virtual IP address has not been configured for the proxy service.

No Server IP

Server IP address has not been configured for the proxy service.

Cert not configured

No certificate has been configured for the proxy service. You must assign a certificate for server proxy service. For client proxy service a certificate is optional.

No CA pool

If you have enabled peer certificate authentication to verify all (signature, CRL check and ACL check), you must configure a CA pool with valid CA certificates for the proxy service.

No connectivity

No Client VLAN

If the virtual IP address (VIP) is not secondary, you must configure a VLAN for the client side network.

If you configure the VIP as secondary, it does not have to be in the VLAN (subnet) connected to the SSL Services Module.

No Server VLAN

If the server is in a network that is directly connected to SSL Services Module, you must configure a VLAN for the server side network.

If the server is not in a directly connected network, you must configure a route to the server.

No SSLv2 Server VLAN

If you have enabled forwarding of SSLv2 connections to a server and if the SSLv2 server is in a directly connected network, you must configure a VLAN for the server side network.

If the SSLv2 server is not in a directly connected network, you must configure a route the SSLv2 server.

No Server/Next Hop MAC

The server or the next hop (gateway) to the server is not responding to ARP.

No SSLv2 Server/Next Hop MAC

The SSLv2 server or the next hop (gateway) to the SSLv2 server is not responding to ARP.
