Enabling TLS for the GCC/GCD Server
To enable TLS, use Configuration-By-Forms (CBF) to create a duplicate instance of the existing GCC/GCD server, disable the tcp_ip protocol and enable the TLS protocol.
1. In CBF, select Net Server/Data Access Server and create duplicate of that server.
2. Edit the start count to 1.
3. Configure the duplicate server to disable the TCP_IP protocol and enable the TLS protocol:
ii.<hostname>.<gcc/gcd>.<instance name/*>.tcp_ip.port: <symbolic port name>
ii.<hostname>.<gcc/gcd>.<instance name/*>.tcp_ip.status: OFF
ii.<hostname>.<gcc/gcd>.<instance name/*>.tls.port: <symbolic port name>
ii.<hostname>.<gcc/gcd>.<instance name/*>.tls.status: ON
4. Save the configuration and restart the installation
5. Check ingstart log to confirm the configured GCC server with the TLS protocol is started.
Starting Net Server (TLS)...
GCC Server = m3\COMSVR\b48
TLS port = m39 (39833)
Note: Enabling TLS and TCP_IP together in the same instance of the GCC/GCD server is not recommended. It will not display an error if both parameters are enabled together.
