It should be straightforward to patch mod_ssl to accept null ciphers, for such an unusual use case, but it isn't something we would likely accept in the ASF distribution for the reasons I outlined.
that would be fine, this is cluster that needs to move a lot data internally in a very short amount of time..
where in mod_ssl would I be looking?
Otherwise, any man-in-the-middle can observe the data in transit and alter the data passed between your client and backend storage server
there are no men to be in the middle. the servers have no logins/users. Consider it an appliance, in general people also don't worry about someone sniffing the wire between a HDU sas connector and the drive's chipset. This is the same thing, just a little bigger.
Wait, why does the use of NULL encryption have any effect on the authenticity/integrity characteristics of the cipher? I asserted otherwise on openssl-users and was not corrected... I didn't suggest it that it would. Everything *after* that handshake, in cleartext, is open for inspection or for manipulation by every link in between the user agent and server.
except in my case, there is 'no one there' to do it. It is a separate, isolated network.
thanks, Ron
