Overview
This chapter describes the features and functions of the Secure Content Accelerator. This chapter contains the following sections:
The Secure Content Accelerator is a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) offloading solution, allowing servers to provide both secure and non-secure services at the same high speeds. You can secure a server immediately using a pre-loaded default key and certificate rather than wait up to a week for your key and certificate to arrive. Simply load your own certificate and key when they are available.
The Secure Content Accelerator provides:
- Compliance with the IEEE 802.3u standard
- Management via command line and Web-based graphical user interfaces
- Encrypted management session option
- User-selectable management UDP/TCP service port option
- RIP client version 1 and 2 support
- SNMP MIB-II support (read-only)
- Transparent/non-transparent SSL proxy toggling
- Non-SSL traffic blocking when operating in default in-line (dual-port) mode
- Arbitrary certificate size (up to 255 certificates)
- Netscape International Step-Up Certificate and Microsoft Server Gated Cryptography support
- Private key security
- Client and server certificate authentication
- On-device key and certificate generation
- HTTPS, SFTP, IMAPS, POP3S, NNTPS, and LDAPS as well as TLS version 1.0, and SSL version 2.0 and 3.0 support
The configuration manager supports Linux Red Hat versions 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, and 7.0; Windows NT 4.0; Windows 2000; and Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 operating systems. The CD-ROM subdirectory entitled Docs contains Adobe Acrobat .pdf versions of the product documentation and release notes.
