SSL protocol parameters

To enable the SSL protocol, add the name of the SSL protocol handler to the ctg.ini configuration file.

Insert this line:
    protocol@ssl.handler=com.ibm.ctg.server.SslHandler
Followed by:
    protocol@ssl.parameters=clientauth=<on>;connecttimeout=<number>;\
    dropworking;idletimeout=<number>;\
    pingfrequency=<number>;port=<number>;requiresecurity;solinger=<number>;\
    ciphersuites=<name>;
Entries for each protocol must be in the form shown:
  • Two lines are allowed for each protocol. If you do not intend to use the Configuration Tool, you can split long lines by placing the backslash character \ after a semicolon.
  • The first line defines the protocol.
  • The second line defines the parameters.
  • Parameters are separated by a semicolon.
Entries correspond to fields in the SSL settings panel:
