To configure the connector to send data to other components (for example Connector Framework Server) over SSL, follow these steps.
To configure outgoing SSL connections
Specify the name of a section in the configuration file where the SSL settings are provided:
To send data to an ingestion server over SSL, set the IngestSSLConfig parameter in the [Ingestion] section. To send data from a single fetch task to an ingestion server over SSL, set IngestSSLConfig in a [TaskName] section.
SSLConfig parameter in the [DistributedConnector] section.SSLConfig parameter in the [ViewServer] section.You can use the same settings for each connection. For example:
[Ingestion] IngestSSLConfig=SSLOptions [DistributedConnector] SSLConfig=SSLOptions
Create a new section in the configuration file. The name of the section must match the name you specified in the IngestSSLConfig or SSLConfig parameter. Then specify the SSL settings to use.
