Network protocol options are optional settings that provide control over a specified web service protocol. These settings are configured at the command line when you launch your database server with the -xs dbeng12/dbsrv12 server option. See -xs dbeng12/dbsrv12 server option.
For example, the following command line configures an HTTPS listener with the PORT, FIPS, Identity, and Identity_Password network protocol options specified:
dbsrv12 -xs https(PORT=544;FIPS=YES; Identity=certificate.id;Identity_Password=password) your-database-name.db |
This command starts a database server that enables the HTTPS web service protocol for the your-database-name.db database. The network protocol options indicate that the web server should perform the following tasks:
The following list identifies the network protocol options that are commonly used for web service protocols:
