# Configure SSL for ACI Requests

To configure Video Management Server to accept requests sent to its ACI port over SSL, follow these steps.

To configure SSL for ACI requests

1. Stop Video Management Server.
2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.
3. In the `[Server]` section set the `SSLConfig` parameter to the name of a section that will contain the SSL settings. For example:

       [Server]
       SSLConfig=SSLOptions

4. Create a new section in the configuration file (the name must match the name you used in the `SSLConfig` parameter). Then, use the SSL configuration parameters to specify the details for the connection.

   SSLMethod | The SSL protocol to use.
   SSLCertificate | The SSL certificate to use (in PEM format).
   SSLPrivateKey | The private key for the SSL certificate (in PEM format).
   SSLPrivateKeyPassword | (Optional) If the file defined in `SSLPrivateKey` is password protected, use this parameter to specify the password. Micro Focus recommends encrypting passwords before adding them to the configuration file. For information about how to encrypt passwords, see Encrypt Passwords.

   For example:

       [SSLOptions]
       SSLMethod=TLSV1.2
       SSLCertificate=host1.crt
       SSLPrivateKey=host1.key

5. Save and close the configuration file.
6. Restart VMS.
