Connection

PerleVIEW will force the data between PerleVIEW and the SQL server to be

encrypted. This is recommended if you are concerned about someone

intercepting the data between the SQL Server and PerleVIEW.

PerleVIEW verifies that a connection can be made to the SQL server.

If you have an external firewall in front of your server you will need to “open” the above

configured ports for HTTP and/or HTTPS connections.
