Securing an External Database
TLS 1.0 is used when securing communications between the Collaboration Server and an
external database. The certificate is installed on the database server and the Collaboration
external database. The certificate is installed on the database server and the Collaboration
Server is the client. When the certificate is installed on the database server, all client requests
and responses are transferred via secure port 4433.
It is important to verify that the external database application is operating in secure mode
before enabling secure external database communications on the Collaboration Server. The
Collaboration Server checks the validity of external database’s certificate before
communicating. If there is a certificate error an Active Alarm is raised with Error in external
database certificate in the description field.
To enable secure Collaboration Server Communications with an External Database:
>> Set the Collaboration Server to communicate with the database server via port 4433 by
and responses are transferred via secure port 4433.
