3DES_EDE_CBC, AES_CBC, and RC4. When using a symmetric key algorithm, the SSL
server and the SSL client must use the same key.
•
Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms
—Calculate the MAC value for data to
ensure integrity. Commonly used MAC algorithms include MD5 and SHA. When using a MAC
algorithm, the SSL server and the SSL client must use the same key.
•
Key exchange algorithms
—Implement secure exchange of the keys used by the symmetric
key algorithm and the MAC algorithm. Commonly used key exchange algorithms are
asymmetric key algorithms, such as RSA.
The SSL client sends the preferred cipher suite to the SSL server. The server compares the received
cipher suite with the cipher suits it supports. If a match is found, the cipher suite negotiation
succeeds. If no match is found, the negotiation fails.
If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Use
server-verify enable
to enable the SSL client to use digital certificates to authenticate SSL
servers.
Use
undo server-verify enable
to disable SSL server authentication. The SSL client does not
authenticate any SSL servers.
Syntax

Default
The SSL client uses digital certificates to authenticate SSL servers.

Usage guidelines
SSL uses digital certificates to authenticate communicating parties. For more information about
digital certificates, see
Security Configuration Guide
.
If you execute the
server-verify enable
command, an SSL server must send its digital certificate to
the SSL client for authentication. The client can access the SSL server only after the server passes
the authentication.
