# Set up SSL between Knowledge Discovery components

If you are using a unified configuration, you can enable SSL communication between Knowledge Discovery components. Set the SSLIDOLComponents parameter to `True` in the `[Server]` section.

You can configure Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections for communication between the following components and other Knowledge Discovery components:

- Agentstore
- Category
- Community
- Content
- Proxy
- View

You can set SSLConfig in the following configuration sections for SSL communications between components:

- `[Server]` to configure SSL communications for incoming ACI calls for all components.

- `[IndexServer]` to configure incoming SSL communications to the Proxy component index port. This option implicitly includes any indexing components (such as Content).

- `[Service]` to configure incoming SSL communications to the Proxy component service port.

- `[Agent]` to configure outgoing SSL communications from the Category component to the Content component where the agent index is stored (Agentstore).

- `[AgentDRE]` to configure outgoing SSL communications from Knowledge Discovery components to the Content component where the agent index is stored (Agentstore).

- `[CatDRE]` to configure outgoing SSL communications from Knowledge Discovery components to the Content component where the category index is stored (Agentstore).

- `[DataDRE]` to configure outgoing SSL communications from Knowledge Discovery components to the Content component where the data index is stored (Content).

NOTE: For SSL communication with the Agentstore component, you must also configure SSL settings in the Agentstore component configuration file.

For example:

    [Server]
    SSLConfig=SSLOptions1
    ...

    [AgentDRE]
    SSLConfig=SSLOptions2
    ...

    [DataDRE]
    SSLConfig=SSLOptions2
    ...

For Omni Group Servers:

    [Note]
    GroupServerHost=...
    GroupServerPort=...
    SSLConfig=SSLOptions2

    [SSLOptions1]             //SSL options for incoming connections
    SSLMethod=TLSV1.3
    SSLCertificate=host1.crt
    SSLPrivateKey=host1.key
    SSLCACertificate=trusted.crt

    [SSLOptions2]            //SSL options for outgoing connections
    SSLMethod=TLSV1.3
    SSLCertificate=host2.crt
    SSLPrivateKey=9s7BxMjD2d3M3t7awt/J8A
    SSLCACertificate=trusted.crt
