Keywords:
Perform this procedure if you want to enable SSL secure connection to the CMS database.
Note:
CMS supports secure connection to the CMS database from Release 19.1 and later.
You can skip installing the root certificate of System Manager or third-party CA if you have already installed this root certificate in the Usage Metering Collector when performing the prerequisites for adding other data source application or System Manager-provided WebLM to any Avaya OneCloud™ Subscription system configured on the same Usage Metering Collector.
  1. In Avaya Call Management System, enable Informix network encryption by using either a CMS self-signed certificate or a CA-signed certificate.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    For more information, see Enabling Informix network encryption in the Using ODBC and JDBC with Avaya Call Management System guide.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If System Manager is the CA for Avaya Call Management System, export the System Manager-signed root certificate from System Manager.
      For more information, see Exporting the System Manager-signed root CA certificate from System Manager.
    • If Avaya Call Management System uses a third-party CA, retrieve the root certificate of the third-party CA from the third-party CA.
    • If Avaya Call Management System uses a self-signed certificate, retrieve the self-signed certificate from Avaya Call Management System.
      The self-signed certificate file <HOSTNAME>_cms_net_encrypt.pem is located in the /opt/informix/ssl directory on the CMS server.
      For more information, see the Using ODBC and JDBC with Avaya Call Management System guide.
  3. Install this certificate in the Usage Metering Collector.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    For more information, see Installing an outbound certificate.
