Organizations requiring stronger security options can configure communication between MetaMiner Client and MetaMiner Server to run over SSL/TLS cryptographic protocol.
MetaMiner includes a built-in self-signed SSL certificate that assures authenticity of MetaMiner Server.
Once you have the SSL certificate and MetaMiner Server is installed and configured, go through the following steps:
| 1. | Follow the steps in Editing MM System Variables to enable use of the MetaMinerServer.ini file |
| 2. | Open the MetaMinerServer.ini file and add the following two VMARG system variables (remember to make sure each “vmarg.x” setting is written per line, with consecutive numbering): |
ssl.enabled=true
For instance:
vmarg.20=-ssl.enabled=true
Save the file
| 3. | Restart MetaMiner Server. |
| 4. | Switch connection type to SSL/TLS-encrypted on all MetaMiner Client installations (read List of MMC System Variables for details). |
