Securing an External Database
TLS 1.0 is used when securing communications between the Collaboration Server and an external
database. The certificate is installed on the database server and the Collaboration Server is the client. When
the certificate is installed on the database server, all client requests and responses are transferred via
secure port 443.
It is important to verify that the external database application is operating in secure mode before enabling
secure external database communications on the Collaboration Server. The Collaboration Server checks
the validity of external database’s certificate before communicating. If there is a certificate error an Active
Alarm is raised with Error in external database certificate in the description field.
To enable secure Collaboration Server Communications with an External Database:
● Set the Collaboration Server to communicate with the database server via port 443 by setting the
value of the System Flag EXTERNAL_DB_PORT in system.cfg to 443.
