IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Enabling and disabling SSL for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configuration is for CORBA traffic (as opposed to HTTP traffic) that is used between clients and the portal server. The default port for CORBA traffic is 15001. IBM Tivoli Monitoring is shipped with SSL disabled as the default. If you want to use Secure Sockets Layer communication between the portal server and the portal client, use the steps in this section to enable it.

Note: This procedure disables the primary interface. For instructions on disabling additional interfaces, see Additional Tivoli Enterprise Portal configurations.
