Configure the DXserver for SSL

DXserver handles SSL and TLS authentication, encryption, and decryption.

To configure the DXserver for SSL

1. Stop the DSA.
2. Add the following command to the settings file sourced by the DSA:

   set ssl = {cert-dir = CertificationDirectory ca-file = CertificateAuthorityFile};
   

3. Start the DSA.

You can find the default SSL settings in the file $DXHOME/config/ssld/default.dxc. If you do not set a cipher, the system uses the default ciphers. You can check the available ciphers using the console command get ciphers.

For a list of ciphers currently supported, see the section Encryption Formats for SSL.

For more information about ciphers, see the OpenSSL site.
