Configuring the Ssa.ini and Nucleus.ini Files

Edit the ssa.ini and nucleus.ini files to configure SSL communication in Data Vault.

For the Data Vault server component installation, add the following entry in both the [AGENT] and [ADMIN] sections:

CertFile = <full CA certificate file path>

The [ADMIN] section is not available by default. You must add this section manually.

For perl utilities, for example ssadbcopy, ssamigrate, ssacleanup, and ssaencrypt, it is important to add the certificate file path entry in the [AGENT] section. These utilities use the location internally.

In the [SERVER] section of ssa.ini, add the following entries:

CertFile = <full certificate file path>

PrivateKey = <full private key file path>

If you are not using alternate names as explained in the topic "Alternate Names," then you must add the fully-qualified domain name, for example "myhostname.mydomain.com," for the HOST variable in the [SERVER] section of the ssa.ini file. If you are using alternate names, for example "myhostname," then you can provide the same name for the HOST variable in the [SERVER] section of ssa.ini. Data Vault uses this entry internally when running Perl tools, so it is important for users who run utilities such as ssadbcopy, ssacleanup, ssamigrate, and others.

In the [CONNECTION] section of the nucleus.ini file, add the following parameters:

CertFile = <full path of the certificate file>

SSL = 1

For example:

[CONNECTIon fas]
Port=8507
Host=inkr58dsg519.informatica.com
CertFile=/data1/idauser/root.ca.crt
SSL=1

If you are not using alternate names as described in the "Alternate Names" topic, then you must add the fully-qualified domain name for the host variable in the [CONNECTION] section. Otherwise, if you are using subject alternate names, for example "myhostname," then you can provide the same name for HOST in this [CONNECTION] section.
