Defining the default security level on UNIX

This procedure describes how to define the default security level on UNIX.

Before you begin

• Ensure that you have an FTP over SSL/TLS server installed and configured.
• Determine whether your server requires:
  • Client authentication
  • Server authentication
  • Client and Server authentication
  • None of the above.

To define the default security level on UNIX:

1. Navigate to the following location:

   <Control-M/Agent home directory>/cm/AFT/data/SSL/cert

2. From a text editor (such as vi), open the aft.plc file.
3. Change the value of the Security_Level parameter to 3 or 4, according to your Server security requirements.
4. Save and close the aft.plc file, and proceed to Certification.

   NOTE: If you have an instance of the connection profile utility (ctmaftacc) running, ensure that you close it and open a new instance in order to allow the change to take effect.
