DESCRIPTION
You can use the ssl component to configure a destination address affinity persistence profile for the
BIG-IP(r) system. SSL persistence is a type of persistence that tracks non-terminated SSL sessions, using the
SSL session ID. Even when the client's IP address changes, the system still recognizes the connection as being
persistent based on the session ID. Note that the term, non-terminated SSL sessions, refers to sessions in
which the system does not perform the tasks of SSL certificate authentication and encryption/re-encryption.
A persistence profile is a profile that enables persistence when you assign the profile to a virtual server.
Using a persistence profile means that you do not have to write an iRule to implement a type of persistence.
You can either use the default profile, or create a custom profile based on the default.
EXAMPLES
list ssl
Displays all SSL persistence profiles.
create ssl ssl_persistence defaults-from ssl
Creates a custom SSL persistence profile named ssl_persistence that inherits its settings from the default SSL
persistence profile.
mv ssl /Common/my_ssl_profile to-folder /Common/my_folder
Moves a custom SSL persistence profile named my_ssl_profile to a folder named my_folder, where my_folder has
already been created and exists within /Common.
OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the profile belongs. The default value is none.
Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot
modify or delete the profile. Only the application service can modify or delete the profile.
defaults-from
Specifies the existing profile from which the system imports settings for the new profile. The default
value is ssl, the system default cookie persistence profile.
description
User defined description.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
syntax.
match-across-pools
Specifies, when enabled, that the system can use any pool that contains this persistence record. The
default value is disabled.
match-across-services
Specifies, when enabled, that all persistent connections from a client IP address, which go to the same
virtual IP address, also go to the same node. The default value is disabled.
match-across-virtuals
Specifies, when enabled, that all persistent connections from the same client IP address go to the same
node. The default value is disabled.
mirror
Specifies whether the system mirrors persistence records to the high-availability peer. The default value
is disabled.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and
modify.
override-connection-limit
Specifies, when enabled, that the pool member connection limits are not enforced for persisted clients.
Per-virtual connection limits remain hard limits and are not disabled. The default value is disabled.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which the component resides.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
a description of regular expression syntax.
timeout
Specifies the duration of the persistence entries. The default value is 300 seconds.
to-folder
ssl persistence profiles can be moved to any folder under /Common, but configuration dependencies may
restrict moving the profile out of /Common.
