  1. Navigate to the following location: 
    <install_location>/arcot/odbc32v60wf
  2. Open the odbc.ini file in a file editor of your choice.
  3. In the [<Database_name> Wire Protocol] section that corresponds to the database you are using, edit the parameters required for SSL connection, as listed in the following table.
