SSLEngine

Synopsis

SSLEngine on|offSSL
Engine off
Server config, virtual host

You might think this was to do with an external hardware engine — but not so. This turns SSL on or off. It is equivalent to SSLEnable and SSLDisable, which you can use instead. This is usually used inside a <VirtualHost> section to enable SSL/TLS for a particular virtual host. By default the SSL/TLS Protocol Engine is disabled for both the main server and all configured virtual hosts.

Example

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
SSLEngine on
...
</VirtualHost>
