Inserting a Static Text String

Note
OL-5655-01
(config-ssl-proxy-list[ssl_list1])# ssl-server 20 http-header prefix
"Acme-SSL"
The ClientCert-Certificate-Version field would now appear as
Acme-SSL-ClientCert-Certificate-Version.
To reset the default of not including a prefix, enter:
(config-ssl-proxy-list[ssl_list1])# no ssl-server 20 http-header
prefix
The ssl-server number http-header prefix command affects only SSL fields that
you configure to be inserted in the HTTP header. This command has no effect on
the insertion of a static text string.
The primary purpose of text string insertion in the HTTP header to a back-end
server is to support Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) applications; however,
you may have other reasons to insert static text. To configure the insertion of a
static text string, use the ssl-server number http-header static command. Enter
a quoted text string with a maximum of 199 characters including spaces. For OWA
support, enter the text string "FRONT-END-HTTPS: on".
If the SSL proxy list and its service are active, suspend the service and then the
proxy list before configuring or disabling HTTP header insertion. Afterward,
reactivate the SSL proxy list and then active its service.
For example:
(config-ssl-proxy-list[ssl_list1])# ssl-server 20 http-header static
"FRONT-END-HTTPS: on"
You can also insert multiple strings on different lines by using the \r\n characters
in between each line. The \r\n characters that terminate the lines use 4 of the
199 characters. The following example shows the insertion of three strings,
"FRONT-END-HTTPS: on", "session cache: on", and "vip address:
www.acme.com".
(config-ssl-proxy-list[ssl_list1])# ssl-server 20 http-header static
"FRONT-END-HTTPS: on\r\nsession cache: on\r\nvipaddress: www.acme.com"
