Abstract:
The requirement to handle large SSL connection for secure login access to applications residing in the virtual machine hosted in the cloud provider system has given rise to the need to restructure applications in the cloud utilizing the hardware load balancer or Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Accelerator. In this paper, we share our experience in designing and implementing a system in enabling SSL and non-SSL content redirection for cloud-based application. We describe the configuration and optimization rules for handling SSL transactions in the SSL Accelerator. In addition, we covered requirement by applications for sharing the HTTP session to enable seamless application access without prompting of re-login. Hence, a Single Sign-On capability in applications can be achieved.
