Configuring Control-M/EM communication with Control-M/Server to use SSL (unmanaged Control-M instances)

The following procedure describes how to configure Control-M/EM communication with Control-M/Server to use SSL (unmanaged Control-M instances).

To configure SSL for unmanaged Control-M instances:

1. Log in to Control-M Configuration Manager.
2. Use the left panel of the Configuration Manager window to select a Server definition:
   1. At the bottom of the panel, select the By Computer tab.
   2. Expand the Control-M/Server node of the All Components tree.
   3. Select the Control-M/Server definition you want to configure.

      The components of the selected definition are displayed in the right panel of the window.

3. Double-click the line displaying the Control-M/Server definition component you want to configure.

   The Control-M Definition window is displayed.

4. In the Protocol field of the definition window, select SSL_ENABLE or TCP, and click OK.
5. Use the Control-M Configuration Manager to stop and restart the Control-M/EM Gateway to implement the change.

   For more information about the Control-M Configuration Manager, see Administration.

At startup, the Gateway tries to communicate with the Server using TCP/IP protocol. If the Server does not respond during the synchronization interval (90 seconds by default), the Gateway automatically changes its protocol to SSL and tries to communicate by using the SSL protocol.
