You need to run sp_security utility before starting sp_cop from SharePlex 9.1.3. This utility is used to set up SharePlex network security using SSL/TLS.
Note: The SSL/TLS must be either enabled with a common network password for all source, intermediary and target SharePlex installations or disabled on all nodes replicating to each other.
To enable SSL/TLS
1. Go to bin sub-directory under SharePlex product directory.
2. Run the sp_security utility as "./sp_security --setup".
3. Verify the location of variable data directory for current SharePlex installation, press Y. If it is not correct, set the SP_SYS_VARDIR and re-run the utility.
4. For option 1, the same network password must be set on all SharePlex nodes replicating to each other.
5. If you wish to enable SSL/TLS, select Option 1 and enter the network password. Re-enter the password when prompted.
6. Repeat this on all nodes replicating to each other, i.e on all SharePlex source, intermediary and target servers.
7. You can start SharePlex after the set-up is done.
To disable SSL/TLS
1. Navigate to SharePlex product-directory/bin.
2. Run the sp_security utility as "./Sp_security --setup".
3. Verify the location of variable data directory for current SharePlex installation, press Y. If it is not correct, set the SP_SYS_VARDIR and re-run the utility.
4. When prompted, select option 2.
5. Repeat this on all nodes replicating to each other, i.e on all SharePlex source, intermediary and target servers.
6. Start SharePlex.
