SSLTCPPORT

The SSLTCPPORT option specifies the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) port number. The server TCP/IP communication driver waits for requests on this port for SSL-enabled sessions from the client.

First-time use of the SSLTCPADMINPORT or SSLTCPPORT options triggers the creation of a key database file (cert.kdb) at server startup. The key database file is created in the server instance directory and is initialized with a self-signed certificate.

The following types of sessions do not use SSL:
  • NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol)
  • ACSLS (Automated Cartridge System Library Software)
  • SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) subagent
  • Database restore operations

If the ADMINONCLIENTPORT option is set to NO, SSL-enabled sessions for the administrative client require SSLTCPADMINPORT with a port number different from one specified by the SSLTCPPORT option. The SSLTCPPORT option does not affect the TCPPORT or TCPADMINPORT options and their interaction with the ADMINONCLIENTPORT option.

The TCP/IP communications driver must be enabled with COMMMETHOD TCPIP or COMMMETHOD V6TCPIP.
