Enabling SSL on Control-M/Agents
This procedure describes how to enable SSL on Control-M/Agents using the Control-M Configuration Manager.
To modify the settings of each agent according to its required configuration:
- In Control-M Configuration Manager, right-click the required Control-M/Agent and select Properties.
- In the Communication tab click the down-arrow next to Secure Socket Layer and select the required value. The values are:
- Default – inherit the value from the Control-M/Server configuration
- Enabled – the connection between the Agent and the Control-M/Server is SSL mode irrespective of the Server connection mode
- Disabled – the connection between the Agent and the Control-M/Server is TCP mode irrespective of the Server connection mode
- Click Test to check that your settings are correct and workable.
- Once the test has validated the settings, click OK.
The connection mode for the agent can be set for any of the valid values. The Control-M server will adjust to the changes made.
NOTE: BMC recommends that switching from SSL Enabled to the server default mode (when the mode is set to DISABLED) must be performed as follows:
- Set the agent to SSL disabled and then wait for the agent to become available again.
- When the agent is available (connecting in TCP mode), set the agent to work in default mode.
