Is it possible to switch off SSL?

I am looking to turn SSL authentication off. One of our customers are
also looking for this option. What are the implications? We would like
to use scm.

Your interactions with the server will not be secure. This will allow
unauthorized users to intercept, inspect and alter your data/passwords.

Why are you looking to do this?

We are running a compression technique called as WAN acceleration and
the customer wants to look at the un-encrypted packets which is only
possible without SSL.

You can decrypt SSL if you have the server's key. There are countless
programs that can do it, such as wireshark.

Thanks

This is possible. Take a look at technote TN0032, "Configuring Proxy Server Caching"
(https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/tech-notes/rational-team-concert-1_0_1-configuring-proxy-caching-server/index.html)

There's a section in there that describes disabling SSL.

If you or your customer have information to share regarding your WAN acceleration explorations, please post them here
(if appropriate) - we'd love to hear about them.
