Enable SSL for the C/C++ SDK

To enable the SSL on the C/C++ Agent:

1. Open your application to the file where you configure the Controller settings.
2. Set const int CONTROLLER_USE_SSL = 1;

3. In the appd_config struct, include the following method: 

    appd_config_set_controller_use_ssl(cfg, CONTROLLER_USE_SSL);

   CODE

If you are using a self-signed certificate, you must do the following:

1. Get the Controller certificate by running the following command:

   openssl s_client -connect <hostname>:<port> -showcerts < /dev/null | openssl x509 > cert.pem

   CODE

2. Update the certificate_file Controller setting to point to absolute path to certificate.

   appd_config_set_controller_certificate_file(cfg, <Path to Cert File>);

   CODE

Check the Certificate CommonName

The certificate CommonName must match the Controller hostname. If they do not match, you must re-configure the certificate on the Controller.

You can check the CommonName by running the following command: 

openssl s_client -connect <CONTROLLER_HOST>:<CONTROLLER_PORT> -showcerts

The CommonName appears above the BEGIN CERTIFICATE line.
