Instantiate Frontend Slave with Ciphers

Agenda

Request a Canary CDN frontend
Set the instance parameters: Backend URL, Backend Type and Ciphers

This tutorial covers the instantiation of a frontend shared instance with ciphers.

Some software (for example embulk) uses old SSL ciphers, which must be passed explicitly to the frontend instance to ensure compatibility.

Request the frontend

On the SlapOS Panel homepage, click on Request in the Global section on the left.

Choose the Project

Select the Project in which you wish to request the instance and continue.

Choose the software release

Select the latest version of the Frontend (CDN) rapid-cdn software release and proceed.

Input the Frontend Configuration Parameters

First, enter a title for the instance.

Next, choose the Custom Personal (Slave) software type, and enter the following parameters in the corresponding fields of the Parameter Form:

Backend URL: The family-default-v6 connection parameter of your instance
Backend Type: zope

Input the Frontend Configuration Parameters (cont.)

Scroll down and continue filling in the parameters in the corresponding fields of the Parameter Form:

Ordered space separated list of ciphers:

ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 ECDHE-ECDSA-WITH-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ECDHE-RSA-WITH-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-CBC-SHA ECDHE-RSA-AES256-CBC-SHA ECDHE-RSA-AES128-CBC-SHA ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-CBC-SHA RSA-AES128-CBC-SHA RSA-AES256-CBC-SHA

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Request to continue and request instantiation.

Access the Connection Parameters

After a few minutes, when the instance is ready, the Connection Parameters will appear.

Find the secure_access parameter and navigate to the corresponding URL to access your instance through the frontend.
