SSLRandomSeed
This tag specifies the number of bytes of entropy to use for seeding the pseudo-random
number generator (PRNG).
Description
Entropy is a measure of randomness. The more entropy, the more random are the numbers
that the PRNG will generate. The default number of bytes to specify for this tag is 16.
Specifying a larger number for this tag provides improved randomness and therefore better
security, but the larger number may noticeably affect the server's performance. If security is a
primary concern for your applications, you should experiment to determine the best value for
this tag.
You cannot specify less than 8 bytes.

SSLSessionCacheGC
This tag specifies in minutes how often to check for and remove unused server-to-server
connections from the SSL session cache.
Description
When Flash Media Server establishes a secure connection to another server, it automatically
caches the session ID (when session caching is supported by the server being connecting to) to
avoid performing full SSL handshakes with this server in the future.
The default interval is 5 minutes.
SSLVerifyCertificate
This tag instructs Flash Media Server whether or not to verify the certificate returned by the
server being connected to.
