SSL on Windows server provides encryption of data sent over the network and
authenticates clients and their passwords using digital certificates.
Warning! Only one SSL-enabled access service can run on a DirectConnect
server. This is due to restrictions of Open Server, which allows
only one SSL certificate in a program. Open Client requires the name
in the certificate to match the name to which Open Client requested a
connection.
Although you can configure ECDA or Mainframe Connect to accept SSL and non-SSL connections (for
example, use non-SSL access services and one SSL access service in the same ECDA or
Mainframe Connect), Sybase recommends that you use only one SSL access service. This
prevents a user from using a secured port to access data over an unsecured transport
medium.
In the tasks related to setting up SSL, substitute the variables as follows:
-
servicename is your service’s name.
-
srvname is your server’s name.
-
yourcapassword is the password you create.
In addition, the C drive is used as the installation drive in the examples.
Note: ECDA or Mainframe Connect 15.0 or later does not support transfer
to and transfer from SSL-enabled Adaptive Servers.
