Instructions for enabling TLS Communications to Microsoft SQL Server databases in Information Server 11.7.1.x

How To


Summary

This document covers the steps required to enable TLS communications on connections to MS SQL Server XMETA, DSODB, QSSRDDB and IADB databases used by Information Server. It does not cover the database connections that are defined when using products like DataStage, IMAM, etc.

In Information Server 11.7.1.3 and later releases, TLS 1.2 is the only supported network protocol.
Starting with Information Server 11.7.1.6, there is additional flexibility in configuring the network protocol:
a. TLS 1.2 is the default network protocol.
b. The network protocol can be changed to only allow TLS 1.3 connections.
c. Alternatively, the server can be configured to accept both, TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2 connection requests.
