Enabling SSL

+{INFO SSL can only be enabled when RavenDB is running as a Windows Service. +The certificate has to be installed in the local certificate repository [Certificates - Local Computer\Personal\Certificates] and include the private key (.pfx file), otherwise the following will not work. /}

By default, secure connectivity is disabled.

To enable the SSL in RavenDB, you need to do the following:

1. change Raven/UseSsl configuration to true.
2. tell RavenDB to use the specified X509 certificate.

To tell RavenDB to use the specified X509 certificate execute the following command on the command line:
Raven.Server.exe /installSSL=PathToCertificate==CertificatePassword
E.g.
Raven.Server.exe /installSSL=C:\Temp\MyCertificate.pfx==MyPassword

To uninstall the certificate execute:
Raven.Server.exe /uninstallSSL=PathToCertificate==CertificatePassword
