Enable SSL on the CCMS Scheduler

Once you add a CA to the list of trusted certificates, an option is available in the %OutputGenDir%/conf/schedule.xml file to indicate that users should use SSL when they connect to IXIA TEXTML Server.

About this task

To enable SSL on the CCMS Scheduler:

Procedure

  1. Open the %SchedulerDir%/conf/schedule.xml file.
  2. Find the <dita.cms> and <textml> elements of the node <configuration>, enter the SSL secure port, and then set the secure attribute to true.
    For example:
    <configuration>
    	<!-- This section is required to synchronize CMS configuration locally -->
    	<dita.cms url="localhost" port="2551" docbase="docbase" secure="true">
    		<user domain="ixiasoft" username="testuser" password="password" synchdir="c:/temp/scheduler/"/>
    	</dita.cms>
    	
    	<!--**************************************************************************************
    		The tags <textml>, <dita.out> and <smtp/> in the <configuration/> section define values 
    		that are used by default. To override a value for a job, specify the element in each job.
    		**************************************************************************************-->
    	
    	<!-- This tag defines from which TEXTML Server and Content Store (docbase) the scheduler fetches information -->
    	<textml id="textml1" url="localhost" version="4" port="2551" docbase="docbase" secure="true">
    		<user domain="ixiasoft" username="testuser" password="password"/>
    	</textml>
    
    	<!-- This tag defines which Output Generator the Scheduler can use to generate any output -->
    	<dita.out url="localhost" port="1500" secure="false"/>
    
    	<!-- This tag defines which SMTP server to use as well as the FROM email address. Please See the Note for more detail. -->
    	<smtp url="smtp.ixiasoft.local" port="25" email="scheduler-noreply@ixiasoft.com" />
    
    	<!-- This tag defines where the pending jobs are stored.-->
    	<dumpQueue filename="c:/temp/scheduler/scheduler-queue-debug-info.txt" />
    </configuration>
    
  3. Save and close schedule.xml.
  4. Restart the CCMS Scheduler.

Results

SSL is enabled for CCMS Scheduler.
