By default Connection Server connects to the event database in non-SSL mode. You can switch between non-SSL and SSL modes using the steps below.

Switch to SSL Connection Mode

  1. Confirm that the database can accept SSL connections.
  2. Confirm that the database certificate is trusted by the Windows machine containing the connection server. If it is not, you can remedy this by importing the database certificate to the machine and adding it to the Windows trust store.
  3. Under Local Ldap > OU=Properties > OU=Global > CN=Common, set the pae-enableDbSSL flag to 1.
  4. Restart the connection server.

All database connections are now created using SSL. If the database does not support SSL or the database certificates are not trusted by the Windows machine containing the connection server, the database connections will fail.

Switch Back to Non-SSL Connection Mode

  1. Under Local Ldap > OU=Properties > OU=Global > CN=Common, set the pae-enableDbSSL flag to 0.
  2. Restart the connection server.
