Identity communication parameter

Specifies the name of an identity file.

Syntax

Identity=identity-file

Available protocols

HTTPS

Allowed values

  • identity-file – This string specifies the name of an identity file.

Default

None

Remarks

When you use transport-layer security, the identity file contains the public certificate and its private key, and for certificates that are not self-signed, the identity file also contains all the signing certificates, which includes, among other things, the encryption certificate. The password for this certificate must be specified with the Identity_Password parameter.

Example

Start a database server that requires web connections to use a particular encryption certificate.

iqsrv16 -xs https(Identity=cert.file;Identity_Password=secret) ...
