Is there a way to clear SSL session ID caches?

We regularly get asked to capture network traffic between an LTM and a pool member server and decrypt it for analysis. However, this can often take a long time in order to get a full SSL handshake to...

Other than restarting pool members the only way I can think of forcing a full exchange would be to clear the SSL session ID cache on the LTM. I've not found a way to do this, is it possible?

 

i am not aware of method to clear ssl session id cache. anyway, can you change cache-size to 0 before troubleshooting?

Thank you for your response. That is one of the options I've looked into, but the one problem is that we are just using the default serverssl profile, so if we change that option, it changes it across all pools that use that profile.
