setsslvserver_ersa

Use this method to set state of Ephemeral RSA (eRSA) key exchange. Ephemeral RSA allows clients that support only export ciphers to communicate with the secure server even if the server certificate does not support export clients. The ephemeral RSA key is automatically generated when you bind an export cipher to an SSL or TCP-based SSL virtual server or service. When you remove the export cipher, the eRSA key is not deleted. It is reused at a later date when another export cipher is bound to an SSL or TCP-based SSL virtual server or service. The eRSA key is deleted when the appliance restarts.

Syntax



Parameters

vservername

Name of the SSL virtual server for which to set advanced configuration.
This is mandatory parameter.

ersa

State of Ephemeral RSA (eRSA) key exchange. Ephemeral RSA allows clients that support only export ciphers to communicate with the secure server even if the server certificate does not support export clients. The ephemeral RSA key is automatically generated when you bind an export cipher to an SSL or TCP-based SSL virtual server or service. When you remove the export cipher, the eRSA key is not deleted. It is reused at a later date when another export cipher is bound to an SSL or TCP-based SSL virtual server or service. The eRSA key is deleted when the appliance restarts.
Default value = ENABLED.
Possible Values : ENABLED, DISABLED.

ersacount

Refresh count for regeneration of the RSA public-key and private-key pair. Zero (0) specifies infinite usage (no refresh).
Maximum value = 65534.

Return Value

Returns simpleResult
