Enabling SSL Support

This section explains how to turn on SSL support.

Select the Enable SSL check box during installation on Microsoft Windows or, while running the installation script on Unix-like operation sustems, answer true to the question Should I enable SSL support?, while running the installation script on UNIX-like operating systems.

If Sybase CEP Server has already been installed without enabling SSL, modify the "EnableSSL" preference in your c8-server.conf file to true and change the Manager URI so that it starts with https: instead of http:.

For changes in the c8-server.conf file to take effect, restart Sybase CEP Server.
