You can use transport-layer security when using the TCP/IP, HTTP, or HTTPS communication protocols. For TCP/IP, HTTP and HTTPS you must use RSA encryption.
To invoke transport-layer security, you must first set it up for the client, storing the settings in the publication, subscription, or Sybase IQ user. You invoke server authentication on the start_asiq command line.
The Certicom security software built into Sybase IQ uses certificates for the purpose of server identification. Sample certificates are provided with Sybase IQ for RSA encryption. The sample RSA certificate is called rsaserver.crt and the password is test.
WARNING! The sample certificates should be used for testing purposes only. The sample certificates provide no security in deployed situations because they and their corresponding passwords are widely distributed with Sybase software. To protect your system, you must create your own certificate.
If Certicom security starts properly, the informational messages confirm this fact. The absence of such messages indicates that Certicom security has not started properly.
