4 Specify the following Sentinel Link settings, then click Save .
Options Description
Destination Specify the IP address or hostname of the receiver, where a
Sentinel Link Connector is configured.
Port Specify the port number for the receiver. The default port is
1290. Click
Test to validate the hostname or IP address and port
number.
Encrypted (HTTPS) or Non
Encrypted (HTTP)
Specify either of the following:

Non Encrypted (HTTP): Provides unsecured connections.

Encrypted (HTTPS): Provides secured connections
between the Sentinel Link Connector and the Integrator.
If you select the encrypted (HTTPS) option, you are
allowed to optionally specify a server validation mode and
a client key pair.
You need to import the client key pair into the Integrator
only if the server operates in a mode where it restricts the
Integrators it communicates with. The server does this
when a client certificate is imported into its trust store.
If you import a client key pair into the Integrator, it is
assumed that you intend to import the corresponding
certificate, which contains the public key, from the client
key pair to the trust store of the server.
NOTE: If the receiver operates in a less restrictive Open
mode, where it does not validate the sender certificates, it
is not necessary to import a key pair into the receiver
system. The receiver ignores even if you import one.
Server validation mode Specify either of the following:

None - no server certificate required: Select this option
if you do not want to use any server certificate.

Strict - server certificate required: Select this option to
import a server certificate.
The Import and Details buttons are displayed. If you click
Import ; a dialog box is opened with the following fields:

Certificate file: Click Browse to add the server
certificate file.

File password: Specify the password for the
certificate file.
Click Import to import the server certificate.
Click Cancel to close the Import dialog box.
