Using SQL Server Certificates

SSL Encryption of SQL Server Connections using Certificates

Enterprise Reporter can be configured to work with a SQL Server® instance. To secure communications while working with Enterprise Reporter, data sent over connections to the SQL Server can be encrypted using an SSL certificate.

The steps required to configure this encryption are as follows.

• Using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC):
  • install the Certificates snap-in for the SQL Server® host computer
  • import the certificate to the SQL Server® host computer
• Using SQL Server Configuration manager:
  • configure the SQL Server® to use the certificate
  • configure the SQL Server® to force encryption
• Restart the SQL Server® host computer

• Import the certificate to all Enterprise Reporter computers that will need to communicate with the SQL Server®, such as:    
  • Enterprise Reporter server host computer
  • Enterprise Reporter nodes
  • Enterprise Reporter Configuration Manager host computer
  • Enterprise Reporter Report Manager host computer
• Install Enterprise Reporter on a host computer
