Configure the Rich Tier to use TLS

To configure IBM Cognos TM1 Performance Modeler, IBM Cognos Insight, and other Rich Tier components to use custom certificates, you must place the certificates in several locations.

TM1® clients connect to the Admin Server using a secured port. When a TM1 client contacts the Admin Server, the Admin Server responds with a list of all TM1 Servers available on the network.

The TM1 client establishes a secure connection with the TM1 Server that is configured to use TLS and establishes an insecure connection with TM1 Servers that are not configured to use TLS.
