Configuring the SSL UNIX Client

Learn the steps to configure the SSL UNIX client.

  1. Set the client SYBASE UNIX environment variable:
    source /<install_dir>/DC-15_0/DC_SYBASE.csh
  2. Copy the trusted.txt file to the <install_dir> /DC-15_0/connectivity/config directory:
    cp /<install_dir>/OCS-15_0/bin/trusted.txt /<install_dir>/DC-15_0/connectivity/config
  3. Go to the <install_dir> directory:
    cd <install_dir>
  4. Edit the interfaces file, and append the SSL entry to the master and query entries for the service:
    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:
    cd <install_dir>/OCS-15_0/bin
  6. To connect to the service, issue:
    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.
