Question

How to used forced encryption with a certificate?

I'm trying to correct some vulnerabilities and received some instructions from IT. The instructions mimic the link below down to the section "Importing the Self-Signed Certificate in the DB Client (the Windchill server)"

 

When I reboot the server, I cannot start windchill with the hash and encryption enabled.

 

 https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r12.1.2.0/pt_BR/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WCAdvDeployGuide/WCAdvDepAdvDB_ConfigWindchillWithSQLDBforJDBCoverSSL.html

 

I also followed the remaining part of the post and added the parameters, but nothing appears to let the server function with forced encryption enabled.

 

Any ideas?

What error do you get in the MethodServer log?

I dont get any errors. The method server log just stops shortly after attempting to start. Almost like something is freezing.

 

I brought it up with my management and we are are having some windchill consultants come in and perform the updates/fixes since this is really beyond my ability.
