About SSL and DCA Performance
To share secure content through the DCA, the Collaboration Toolbar must be loaded
in secure mode (HTTPS). The setting that controls this resides on the Collaboration
Server and makes a DCA/CCS server combination either full-time SSL or full-time
non-SSL.
in secure mode (HTTPS). The setting that controls this resides on the Collaboration
Server and makes a DCA/CCS server combination either full-time SSL or full-time
non-SSL.
In a full-time SSL configuration, every DCA session is conducted in SSL mode,
regardless of whether the actual pages requested are secure. In addition, to prevent
security warnings, each resource on a page is delivered through on the DCA,
including non-text files such as images and multimedia that would normally come
directly from a Web content server. These non-text files are stored in the DCA's
Static cache.

Thus, SSL imparts additional overhead to the DCA that can affect performance. This
overhead is difficult to quantify, but may significantly affect the number of
concurrent sessions the DCA can effectively handle.
