ssl-inspection

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Inspect HTTP traffic encrypted in SSL protocol. SSL inspection is disabled by default. It is enabled if you configure SSL inspection.

With the Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) decryption feature, SRX Series Firewalls load configured RSA private keys to memory and use them to establish SSL session keys to decrypt data. IDP is required to decrypt the RSA keys and to check the integrity before performing normal encryption or decryption operations using the keys.
