I need some clarification on setting up Safeguard to use SSL. The PDF i am reading for setting up SSL comm between servers and clients says
"Certificate issued by a PKI having a private or a public root certificate
This document describes the installation procedure using a self-signed certificate.
Important note: In case only a certificate created by a public PKI and no PKI
infrastructure is available it is not possible to use this certificate to secure the
communication with SSL."
Is this saying I cannot use a godaddy cert? That is what it looks like to me.
Copied from the PDF
Using SSL
The following steps describe how to implement SSL to secure the communication betwee
the SafeGuard Client and the SafeGuard Server.
The main advantage of using SSL is the performance win compared to the integrated
encryption. Using SSL is approximately 40% faster and can furthermore parallelize
connections to multiple threads and CPU’s.
Setting up SSL encryption to secure the communication requires a valid certificate. The
following certificate types can be used in order to secure the communication:
1. A self- signed certificate
2. Certificate issued by a PKI having a private or a public root certificate
This document describes the installation procedure using a self-signed certificate.
Important note: In case only a certificate created by a public PKI and no PKI
infrastructure is available it is not possible to use this certificate to secure the
communication with SSL.
5.1 Quick installation reference
1. Create a new self-signed certificate.
2. Configure the SGNSRV web page to accept a certificate.
3. Deploy the certificate.
