The SBC EMA is enhanced to interface with the common certificate pool using the EMA TLS Profile. The certificates used for HTTPS are exported from the database to the local disk space, and then the EMA TLS Profile facilitates selecting a certificate from the pool and uploading it to the EMA. Two types of files are supported: p12 and pem. The SBC supports SHA-256 for certificate verification.
You can configure only one EMA TLS Profile at any given time.
You can configure up to 20 client CA certifications (using separate 'set' commands) for an EMA TLS Profile.
PC Java Configuration supports TLS 1.0 only by default. When you disable EmaTlsProfile v1_0, enable the corresponding Java Configuration for TLS support. See the example below for the Windows environment.
After configuring servercert and clientCACert in EmaTlsProfile, an appropriate value must be configured for clientAuthMethod in OAM > EMA to enable client SSL verification.
To enable TLS support in Windows:
- Click Start and enter "Java Control Panel" in the Search field.
- Launch the Java Control Panel program.
- From the Java Control Panel, select Advanced tab.
- Check both "Use TLS 1.1" and "Use TLS 1.2" options under Advanced Security Settings section, and click Apply.
- Restart your browser for the changes to take effect.

Command Parameters
The EMA TLS Profile parameters are as shown below:
| Parameter | Length/Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
<EMA TLS Profile name> | 1-23 characters | The name of the EMA TLS Profile. Note: You can configure only one EMA TLS Profile at any given time. |
ClientCaCert | N/A | The name of the EMA-CA certificate associated with this EMA-TLS profile. |
authClient | N/A | Set flag to "true" to force the EMA-TLS client to authenticate itself within TLS.
|
ocspProfileName | N/A | The name of the OCSP profile associated with this EMA-TLS profile. |
serverCertName | N/A | The name of the server certificate associated with this EMA-TLS profile. |
v1_0 | N/A | TLS protocol version 1.0
|
v1_1 | N/A | TLS protocol version 1.1
|
v1_2 | N/A | TLS protocol version 1.2
|
ciphersuite | N/A | The EMA TLS Ciphersuite choice for this profile. See Supported ciphersuites for the list of supported ciphersuites. |
Supported ciphersuites
The following 12 SSL ciphersuites are supported initially in this feature. This list may change in the future based on requirements.
