Informix encryption attributes are provisioned during CMS installation. Use the ids_tls_configure utility to activate and manage encryption.
This utility enables you to do the following:
-
Enable Informix network encryption.
To enable Informix network encryption, you must provide a CA certificate. The certificate will be integrated into the Informix encryption configuration.

Update the Informix network encryption certificate.
When a new CA certificate is required, the utility updates the certificate in the existing Informix encryption configuration.
