Configuring an SSL Server Policy
An SSL server policy is a set of SSL parameters for a server to use when booting up. An SSL server
policy takes effect only after it is associated with an application layer protocol, HTTP protocol, for
example.
Configuration Prerequisites

the server side certificate. Therefore, before configuring an SSL server policy, you must configure a
PKI domain. For details about PKI domain configuration, refer to
