# Configure Outgoing SSL Connections

To configure the connector to send data to other components (for example Connector Framework Server) over SSL, follow these steps.

To configure outgoing SSL connections

1. Open the Facebook Connector configuration file in a text editor.

2. Specify the name of a section in the configuration file where the SSL settings are provided:

   - To send data to an ingestion server over SSL, set the `IngestSSLConfig` parameter in the `[Ingestion]` section. To send data from a single fetch task to an ingestion server over SSL, set `IngestSSLConfig` in a `[TaskName]` section.

   - To send data to a Distributed Connector over SSL, set the `SSLConfig` parameter in the `[DistributedConnector]` section.
   - To send data to a View Server over SSL, set the `SSLConfig` parameter in the `[ViewServer]` section.

   You can use the same settings for each connection. For example:

       [Ingestion]
       IngestSSLConfig=SSLOptions

       [DistributedConnector]
       SSLConfig=SSLOptions

3. Create a new section in the configuration file. The name of the section must match the name you specified in the `IngestSSLConfig` or `SSLConfig` parameter. Then specify the SSL settings to use.

   `SSLMethod` | The SSL protocol to use.
   `SSLCertificate` | (Optional) The SSL certificate to use (in PEM format).
   `SSLPrivateKey` | (Optional) The private key for the SSL certificate (in PEM format).

   For example:

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

4. Save and close the configuration file.
5. Restart the connector.
