Configuring a Default SSL Proxy Profile

 

You can configure a default profile for an SSL proxy to manage conflicts when a security policy lookup returns a list of policies before the final application is identified. The initial policy lookup phase occurs prior to identifying a dynamic application. If there are multiple policies present in the potential policy list that contain different SSL proxy profiles, then the SRX Series device applies the default profile until a suitable match is established. You can configure a default SSL proxy profile for both SSL forward and reverse proxy.

The sessions are dropped in case of policy conflicts, if the default SSL proxy profile is not available.
