2 Enable Secure Ports for the Connector on page 37
To enable SSL for your Application Manager deployment, after you enable secure ports for Application
Manager, you must enable secure ports for the Connector. For the Connector, enabling secure ports
requires you to reset and reconfigure the Connector, which requires a new activation code.
3 Generate an SSL Certificate on page 38
If you decide to use a self-signed SSL certificate instead of a third-party CA certificate, you need to
generate and distribute the certificate.

If you have generated a self-signed Application Manager SSL certificate, you must copy the certificate
to each Connector instance associated with that Application Manager instance.
