Configuring the SSL client (for UNIX)

To configure the client environment to use SSL

1. Set the client Sybase UNIX variable:

   prompt% source $SYBASE/SYBASE.csh (or .sh)
   

2. Copy the trusted.txt file to the $SYBASE config directory:

   prompt% 
   cp $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin/trusted.txt $SYBASE/config
   

3. Go to the $SYBASE directory:

   prompt% cd $SYBASE
   

4. Edit the interfaces file, and append the SSL entry to the Master and Query entries for the DirectConnect service:

   prompt% cat interfaces
   

   servicename
   master tcp ether machine name 12510 ssl
   query tcp ether machine name 12510 ssl
   

5. Go to the Sybase Open Client and Open Server bin directory:

   prompt% cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin
   

6. Issue the isql command to connect to the DirectConnect service:

   isql -Sservicename -Uuid -Ppwd
   

7. When you are finished, stop the server and restart it. If you receive no connection errors, SSL is installed correctly.
