Securing an External Database
TLS 1.0 is used when securing communications between the RMX and an external database.
The certificate is installed on the database server and the RMX is the client. When the
certificate is installed on the database server, all client requests and responses are
transferred via secure port 443.
It is important to verify that the external database application is operating in secure mode
before enabling secure external database communications
on the RMX. The RMX checks the
validity of external database’s certificate before communicating. If there is a certificate error
an
Active Alarm
is raised with
Error in external database certificate
in the description field.
To enable secure RMX Communications with an External Database:
>>
Set the RMX to communicate with the database server via port 443 by setting the value
of the
System Flag
EXTERNAL_DB_PORT
in
system.cfg
to 443.

Modifying System Flags”
