Chapter 72 Configuring Clientless SSL VPN
Content Cache
You can type a string consisting of up to 40 characters, and equal to one of the valid character sets
identified in http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets. You can use either the name or the alias of
a character set listed on that page. The string is case-insensitive. The command interpreter converts
upper-case to lower-case when you save the ASA configuration.
Step 2 Enter the name or IP address of a CIFS server for which the encoding requirement differs from the
“Global Encoding Type” attribute setting. The ASA retains the case you specify, although it ignores the
case when matching the name to a server.
Step 3 Choose the character encoding that the CIFS server should provide for clientless SSL VPN portal pages.
You can type the string, or choose one from the drop-down list, which contains only the most common
values, as follows:
• big5
• gb2312
• ibm-850
• iso-8859-1
• shift_jis
Note If you are using Japanese Shift_jis Character encoding, click Do not specify in the Font Family
area of the associated Select Page Font pane to remove the font family.
• unicode
• windows-1252
• none
If you click none or specify a value that the browser on the clientless SSL VPN session does not support,
it uses its own default encoding.

Content Cache
Caching enhances the performance of clientless SSL VPN. It stores frequently reused objects in the
system cache, which reduces the need to perform repeated rewriting and compressing of content. The
use of the cache reduces traffic, with the result that many applications run more efficiently.
Detailed Steps
Step 1 Click to enable caching. The default value is disable.
Step 2 Define the terms for caching.
• Enable caching of compressed content—Click to cache compressed content. When you disable this
parameter, the ASA stores objects before it compresses them.
