Creating an identity file

The System Administrator must create an identity file that is understood by the SSL Plus software. The identity file contains the concatenation of a certificate and its corresponding encrypted private key.

The name and default location of the identity file is the following, where servername is the name of the server as specified at start-up:

%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_REP%\certificates\servername.crt

To place the identity file in a different location, you must specify the alternate location in the RS_ssl_identity entry in the configuration file.

To make a successful connection, the common name in the certificate must match the Replication Server name in the directory service.

Client certificates are not supported.
