SSL Based Services

Subject: SSL Based Services
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 10:23:38 -0800
Environment Background: Machine running Websphere on several ports, each with SSL enabled.

Problem: Toggling 'ALL' under 'Test SSL Based Services' in the Prefs -> Services menu, nessus seems to loop on various checks until the defined plugin timeout occurs, and the NessusClient seems frozen while in this loop.

If toggling 'Known SSL Ports' in the same menu, the scan will fly by because it will only do SSL checks on port 443. Because the websphere applications each run on a seperate port, and with SSL, there is something in the plugins that is causing it to loop / hang.

While trying to perform a manual check, we noticed that the port would close quickly, which might be the reason for the nessus check to loop.

Any ideas in this problem? Is it a plugin problem, is it the tcp port closing quickly that causes the problem, is it a plugin timeout problem? Feedback would be greatly appreciated, as I have lots of these devices in the environment I test in. Thanks!
