Securing an External Database

TLS 1.0 is used when securing communications between the Collaboration Server and an external database. The certificate is installed on the database server and the Collaboration Server is the client. When the certificate is installed on the database server, all client requests and responses are transferred via secure port 443.

It is important to verify that the external database application is operating in secure mode before enabling secure external database communications on the Collaboration Server. The Collaboration Server checks the validity of external database’s certificate before communicating. If there is a certificate error an Active Alarm is raised with Error in external database certificate in the description field.

To enable secure Collaboration Server Communications with an External Database:

●Set the Collaboration Server to communicate with the database server via port 443 by setting the value of the System Flag EXTERNAL_DB_PORT in system.cfg to 443.
