Set up an SSL Connection

There are several ways to set up Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections for IDOL Server. For example, you can:

  • Configure an SSL gateway. You configure incoming communications to a unified IDOL Server to use SSL connections, but communications between components are plain.

  • Configure SSL between all IDOL components in a unified IDOL Server. All communications into IDOL, and between components, are configured with SSL connections.

  • Configure SSL between stand-alone IDOL components.

In all cases the basic principle of configuring SSL is the same, but the exact configuration varies.
