Set up an SSL Connection

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

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

  • Configure SSL between all components in a unified configuration. All communications into Knowledge Discovery, and between components, are configured with SSL connections.

  • Configure SSL between stand-alone components.

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