Hi,
I'd like to know how can I setup the SSL so I can secure my HTTP Endpoint.
I saw in the documentation that some settings such as SSL_PORT and PORTS should be set to SSL port number and SSL but I did not find out anywhere where they explain how to enable SSL.
Do we enable SSL the same way we enable it or SQL Server 2005 or does that have to be done through the MMC - Certificates.
I don't have any IIS server running on this server, so I was wondering if IIS is a requirement to generate and import the certificate.
I appreciate your help and comments.
Bruce.
Bruce,
You can use the same SSL certificate as IIS if you like. Once the SSL certificate is setup for the IPAddress
ort combination, all you need is to configure the ENDPOINT to support SSL.
For additional information on how to configure a SSL certificate for use by the ENDPOINT, please refer to the "Configuring Certificate for Use by SSL" topic in Books Online (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186362.aspx)

|||Thanks Jimmy,
It's now working. I thought that was much more complicated than that to enable SSL on the HTTP endpoint.
Thx.
