System administrationThese topics contain concepts, procedures, and reference information for database and database server administrators to use for managing and tuning HCL Informix® database servers.
Administrator's GuideThe Informix® Administrator's Guide provides the information required to administer HCL Informix®.
High availability and scalabilityA successful production environment requires database systems that are always available, with minimal if any planned outages, and that can be scaled quickly and easily as business requirements change.
Connection management through the Connection ManagerConnection Managers can control automatic failover for high-availability clusters, monitor client connections and direct requests to appropriate database servers, act as proxy servers and handle client/server communication, and prioritize connections between application servers and the primary server of a high-availability cluster. Connection Managers support high-availability clusters, replicate sets, server sets, and grids.
Configuration examples for connection managementThe following examples show steps for setting up connection management for various connection units and various systems.
Example: Configuring for an SSL connectionThis example shows the steps to configure CM to listen for SSL connections from database clients.

Example of configuring for an SSL connection

This example shows the steps to configure CM to listen for SSL connections from database clients.

About this task

The steps to perform depend on the encryption library used by the CM: GSKit or OpenSSL. This in turn depends on whether the CM is installed in the same directory as the database server. If co-located with the database server, then the CM uses the same encryption library as the server, i.e. GSKit. Otherwise, the CM uses OpenSSL.

Note: You may determine which encryption library is used by the CM by running the utility onkstash with command line parameter version: onkstash -version
