Enabling SSL

The DirectConnect server determines which security service it will use for a port based on the interface file on UNIX and sql.ini file on Windows.

1. Generate a certificate and trusted roots file for the server.

2. Use sp_configure to specify the certificate file. From a command prompt, enter:

   exec sp_configure <servername>, "certificate_file", <certificate file spec>
   

3. Use sp_configure to specify the trusted roots file, unless you are using the default location:

   exec sp_configure <servername>, "trusted_roots_file", <trusted roots file spec>
   

4. Use sp_configure to specify the certificate password file. From the command prompt, enter:

   exec sp_configure <servername>,”certificate password”, <certificate password file spec>
   

5. Add the SSL filter to the interfaces file.

6. Shut down and restart the server.
