Enabling the support of cryptographic hardware

This procedure is used to enable the SSL handshake routine to be offloaded to a cryptographic hardware card

This applies to reverse proxy configurations only.

  1. Install the cryptographic hardware card according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Enable SSL for Caching Proxy.
  3. Manually edit the SSLCryptoCard directive in the ibmproxy.conf configuration file. No entry for this directive appears in the Configuration and Administration forms.

    On AIX®, in order to support the IBM® 4960 PCI Cryptographic Accelerator Card, see PKCS11DefaultCert, PKCS11DriverPath, PKCS11TokenPassword — Supports IBM 4960 PCI Cryptographic Accelerator Card (AIX only).
