QUERY SSL Command

Syntax | Parameters/Options | How Cipher Suites Are Displayed | Examples

Displays the versions of SSL that VM:Webgateway supports and the associated cipher suites.

Syntax

QUERY SSL [version]

Parameters/Options

[version]

Version of SSL. VM:Webgateway currently supports only SSL version 3. Specify one of the following:

*	VM:Webgateway displays each version of SSL it supports along with the associated cipher suites. This is the default.
SSLV3	VM:Webgateway displays the cipher suites it supports for SSL version 3. You must specify the version in uppercase.

How Cipher Suites Are Displayed

VM:Webgateway displays the cipher suites using the following format:

exchange/encryption/hashing

exchange: Technique that defines how VM:Webgateway and a web browser exchange an encryption key that will be used to encrypt and decrypt the data being transmitted.
encryption: Type of encryption.
hashing: Type of hashing that is used to assure data integrity during transmission.

VM:Webgateway supports the following cipher suites for SSL version 3:

RSA_EXPORT/RC4_40/MD5

RSA_EXPORT: RSA key exchange technique that is restricted for export to a 512-bit key size
RC4_40: RC4 symmetric stream encryption algorithm that is restricted for export to a 40-bit key size
MD5: MD5 hashing algorithm

RSA_EXPORT/RC2_40/MD5

RSA_EXPORT: RSA key exchange technique that is restricted for export to a 512-bit key size
RC2_40: RC2 symmetric block encryption algorithm that uses cipher block chaining and is restricted for export to a 40-bit key size
MD5: MD5 hashing algorithm

Examples

You want to display information about all versions of SSL that VM:Webgateway supports. Enter the following command from a VM userid that has SYSADMIN authorization:

vmwebsrv query ssl *

VM:Webgateway responds:
```
 Version   Cipher Suites                         
 --------  --------------------------------------
 SSLV3     RSA_EXPORT/RC4_40/MD5                 
           RSA_EXPORT/RC2_40/MD5 
```

You want to display the cipher suites that VM:Webgateway supports for SSL version 3. Enter the following command from the VM:Webgateway SVM:

query ssl SSLV3

VM:Webgateway responds:

 Version   Cipher Suites                         
 --------  --------------------------------------
 SSLV3     RSA_EXPORT/RC4_40/MD5                 
           RSA_EXPORT/RC2_40/MD5
