Configuring TLS (SSL)

You can configure the connector to use Transport Layer Security (TLS, formerly called SSL) when connecting to a host.

To configure TLS:

  1. Set the SSL property to 1.
  2. Optionally, if you do not want to verify the host in the certificate is the host being connected to, set the disableHostVerification property to 1.
  3. Optionally, if you do not want to verify the certificate against the local trust store, set the disableCertificateVerification property to 1.
  4. Optionally, set the TrustedCerts property to the location of the .pem file that contains your trusted certificates.
  5.  Choose one:
    1. To specify a minimum version of TLS to use, set the Min_TLS property to the minimum version of TLS. Supported options include 0 for TLS 1.0, 1 for TLS 1.1, and 2 for TLS 1.2.
    2. Or, to specify the exact version of TLS to use, set the UseExactTLSProtocolVersion property to 1, then set the TLSProtocol property to the version of TLS you want used. Supported options include tlsv1, tlsv11, or tlsv12.
