Configure SSL for ACI Requests

To configure Video Management Server to accept requests sent to its ACI port over SSL, follow these steps.

To configure SSL for ACI requests

  1. Stop Video Management Server.
  2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.
  3. In the [Server] section set the SSLConfig parameter to the name of a section that will contain the SSL settings. For example:
    [Server]
    SSLConfig=SSLOptions
  4. Create a new section in the configuration file (the name must match the name you used in the SSLConfig parameter). Then, use the SSL configuration parameters to specify the details for the connection.

    SSLMethod The SSL protocol to use.
    SSLCertificate The SSL certificate to use (in PEM format).
    SSLPrivateKey The private key for the SSL certificate (in PEM format).
    SSLPrivateKeyPassword (Optional) If the file defined in SSLPrivateKey is password protected, use this parameter to specify the password. Micro Focus recommends encrypting passwords before adding them to the configuration file. For information about how to encrypt passwords, see Encrypt Passwords.

    For example:

    [SSLOptions]
    SSLMethod=TLSV1.2
    SSLCertificate=host1.crt
    SSLPrivateKey=host1.key
  5. Save and close the configuration file.
  6. Restart VMS.
