Enabling Tungsten<>Database Security

This section explains how to enable security between the database and various other parts of the topology, including:

• Database server SSL

  This is the first step, and the prerequiste for all the remaining steps. You must have the database server properly configured to support SSL before any of the other procedures will work.

  See "Enabling Database SSL"

• Tungsten Replicator to the database server

  This usually happens during the second step, and what allows Tungsten Replicator to communicate securely with the database server.

  See "Configure Tungsten<>Database Secure Communication"

• Tungsten Manager to the database server

  This usually happens during the second step, and what allows Tungsten Manager to communicate securely with the database server.

  See "Configure Tungsten<>Database Secure Communication"

• Connector to the database server

  This is usually the third step, and what allows the Tungsten Connector to communicate securely with the database server.

  See "Enable and Test SSL encryption from the Connector to the Database"

• Application to the Database through the Connector

  This is usually the last step, and what allows the Application to communicate securely with the database server through the Tungsten Connector.

  See "Test SSL encryption from the Application to the Database"
