iRule(1) BIG-IP TMSH Manual iRule(1)
SSL::forward_proxy
Sets the SSL forward proxy bypass feature to bypass or intercept, or retrieves the forged certificate, or
enables/disables/gets verified_handshake semantics, or mask/ignore certificate response_control for the SSL handshake or
inserts a certificate extension to the certificate, or sets server certificate status.
SYNOPSIS
SSL::forward_proxy ( (policy (bypass | intercept)?) | cert)
SSL::forward_proxy verified_handshake (enable | disable) ?
SSL::forward_proxy cert response_control (ignore | mask) ?
SSL::forward_proxy extension (ARG ARG)
SSL::forward_proxy cert status (revoke) ?
DESCRIPTION
This command sets the SSL forward proxy bypass feature to bypass or intercept, or retrieves the forged certificate if the
policy or cert subcommands are specified. If verified-handshake subcommand is specified, the command enables, disables or
retrieves the verified_handshake behavior for the SSL handshake. If response_control subcommand is specified, the command
ignore or mask the server side certificate errors while forging client certificate. If extension subcommand is specified,
the command inserts an extension while forging a certificate. If status subcommand is specified, the command sets server
certificate status.
RETURN VALUE
SSL::forward_proxy policy <[bypass] | [intercept]>
This command sets the policy of SSL Forward Proxy Bypass feature to "bypass" or "intercept"
SSL::forward_proxy cert
Returns the X509 SSL certificate forged by the SSL forward proxy.
SSL::forward_proxy verified_handshake [ enable | disable ]
Returns the verified handshake value if no option is specified, else sets the verified handshake to enable or disable.
SSL::forward_proxy cert response_control [ ignore | mask ]
This command allows toggle option for forging of a good certificate (mask) or preserve server side certificate errors
(ignore) on certificate to be sent to client.
SSL::forward_proxy extension
This command inserts as an extension to the forged certificate with OID=oid and value=oid-value.
SSL::forward_proxy cert status [ revoke ]
This command internally sets server cert status to revoked. Any cert status retrieved from server-side will be
overwritten with a revoked status.

HINTS
The "SSL::forward_proxy verified_handshake" command must be run on both the client and server side of the forward proxy to
configure the verified-handshake behavior.
