SSL Based Services

[Garrett Gee <list@srtek.org>]

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!
