Enabling SSL Acceleration for Web Server and Web Client Communications

This topic describes how to configure the deployment of SSL in your Siebel Enterprise to use SSL acceleration for communications between the Siebel Web server and Siebel Web Clients.

This task is a step in Process of Configuring Secure Communications.

Use of SSL acceleration moves computationally intensive SSL processing away from the Web server to a reverse proxy server, or third-party load balancer, which improves application performance. For information on using reverse proxy servers with Siebel Business Applications, see Firewall and Proxy Server Support. For information on configuring Siebel Web Clients to use SSL, see Configuring a Siebel Web Client to Use SSL.

To enable SSL acceleration

• To enable SSL acceleration, set the Siebel Application Object Manager parameter, EnforceSSL, to True.

  The default value of the EnforceSSL parameter is False. For detailed information on changing the EnforceSSL parameter value, see Siebel System Administration Guide.
