Usage Guidelines In client proxy-service configuration submode, you specify that the proxy service accept clear-text traffic,
encrypt it into SSL traffic, and forward it to the back-end SSL server.
In most cases, all of the SSL-server-proxy configurations that are performed are also valid for the
SSL-client-proxy configuration, except for the following:
• You must configure a certificate for the SSL-server-proxy but you do not have to configure a
certificate for the SSL-client-proxy. If you configure a 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 handshake protocol.
• The SSL policy is attached to the virtual subcommand for ssl-server-proxy where as it is attached to
server SSL-client-proxy subcommand.
Each proxy-service or proxy-client configuration submode command is entered on its own line.
Table 3-9 lists the commands that are available in proxy-client configuration submode.
ssl-proxy-name SSL proxy service name.
