Gather SSL Configuration Details

In preparation to secure Java Agent communications through SSL, you need information about the SSL configuration of the Controller or the Analytics Agent:

  • The SSL port:
    • For SaaS Controllers, the SSL port is 443.
    • For on-premises Controllers, the default SSL port is 8181, but you may configure the Controller to listen for SSL on another port.
    • You configure the port for the Analytics Agent using the ad.dw.http.port property. See Enable SSL for the Analytics Agent.
  • The signature method for the certificates:
    • A publicly known certificate authority (CA) signed the certificate. This applies for DigiCert, Verisign, Thawte, and other commercial CAs.
    • A CA internal to your organization signed the certificate. Some companies maintain internal certificate authorities to manage trust and encryption within their domain.
    • The Controller or Analytics agent uses a self-signed certificate.
