SECURING
Requiring a TLS connection to a server
Require TLS connections when you want to make sure that clients use a secure connection to access databases on the server. You do this by redirecting connection requests that come in over the TCP/IP port to the TLS port. If you do not require an TLS connection, clients can use either TLS or TCP/IP to connect to the server.
About this task
You can set up the redirection of TCP/IP to TLS for the HTTP, IMAP, and LDAP protocols only. POP3 and SMTP do not support the Redirect to TLS setting. You enableRedirect to TLS in one of two ways:
- For HTTP clients, use a Web Site document.
- For IMAP and LDAP clients, do this in the Server document.
