# Configure SSL in a Stand-Alone System

Use the following procedure to configure SSL in a setup where you configure the DAH in the stand-alone DAH configuration file.

To configure an SSL connection in a stand-alone system

1. Open the DAH configuration file in a text editor.

2. Find either the `[Server]` section, the `[DistributedEngineN]` section, or both.

3. Add the `SSLConfig` setting to specify the section in which you have set the SSL details for the connection, usually `SSLOptionN`. For example:

       [Server]
       (other server settings...)
       SSLConfig=SSLOption0

       [DistributedEngine0]
       SSLConfig=SSLOption0

       [DistributedEngine1]
       SSLConfig=SSLOption1

   In this example, incoming ACI calls and outgoing calls to `DistributedEngine0` share the same SSL configuration, and outgoing calls to `DistributedEngine1` use a different configuration.

4. Create an `[SSLOptionN]` section for each unique `SSLConfig` setting. Each `SSLOption` entry must contain the `SSLMethod`, `SSLCertificate`, and `SSLPrivateKey` parameters. For example:

       [SSLOption0]
       SSLMethod=TLSV1.3
       SSLCertificate=host1.crt
       SSLPrivateKey=host1.key

       [SSLOption1]
       SSLMethod=TLSV1.3
       SSLCertificate=host2.crt
       SSLPrivateKey=host2.key

5. Save and close the configuration file.

6. Restart the DAH for your changes to take effect.
