Creating an Identity File

Create the identity file that contains the concatenation of a certificate and its corresponding encrypted private key, and that is understood by the SSL Plus software.

Prerequisites
Verify that you have the system administrator role before performing this task.
Task
The name and default location of the identity file is the following, where instance_name is the name of the Replication Agent instance as specified at start-up:
  • UNIX - $SYBASE/RAX-15_5/instance_name/certificates/instance_name.p12.
  • Windows - %SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\instance_name\certificates\instance_name.p12.
  1. To place the identity file in a different location, specify the alternate location in the ssl_identity_filename entry in the configuration file.
  2. To make a successful connection, the common name in the certificate must match the Replication Agent instance name in the directory service.
    Client certificates are not supported.
