Enable SSL for the Solr Search Engine

After the Solr Search Engine installation is complete, you can optionally enable SSL for communications between the Service Manager Server and the Solr Search Engine.

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Generate certificates for both the Service Manager Server and the Solr Search Engine.

    For details, see Generate FIPS validated certificates for the SM Server and other components.

    Note For FIPS mode, the certificate type is pkcs12; for standard SSL mode, use the jks certificate type instead.

  2. Enable SSL in the Service Manager Server.

    To do this, configure the following parameters in the Server's RUN\sm.ini file:

    ssl:1
    sslConnector:1
    ssl_reqClientAuth:2
    keystoreFile:sun-server-smserver.mycompany.net.jks
    keystorePass:serverkeystore
    ssl_trustedClientsJKS:trustedclients.jks
    ssl_trustedClientsPwd:trustedclients
    truststoreFile:smcacerts.jks
    truststorePass:changeit

    Note You need to replace the certificate files and their passwords with your own values.

  3. Enable SSL in the Solr Search Engine.

    For details, see the "Steps to configure FIPS mode in the Solr Search Engine" section in Configure FIPS mode in the Solr Search Engine.
