You can configure and customize a number of Metalogix Content Matrix settings, including:

·the use of encrypted SQL database connections

·proxy settings

·available actions and events

·default settings in configuration variable files

·client-side settings

·resource utilization settings

When connecting to a SQL database via Content Matrix, you are given the option to connect using TLS/SSL encryption.  

NOTE: Content Matrix can use any version of TLS that is compatible with .NET Framework 4.7.2.  The default version of TLS used by the operating system on the machine from which you are connecting will be used by Content Matrix.    

The encrypted connection can use either:

·a self-signed certificate or a trusted certificate from the third party authority (refer to the Microsoft article https://docs.microsoft.c om/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/enable-encrypted-connections-to-the-database-engine?view=sql-server-ver15 for instructions on configuring an encrypted connection using a certificate)

OR

·a SQL-generated certificate,  which does not require configuration.

NOTE:  If a trusted certificate is used, it is not necessary to check the Trust Server Certificate box.  However,  if the box is not checked and the certificate is not trusted, the following message will display:

In this case, the Trust Server Certificate box must be checked in order to continue the connection.

In most cases Metalogix Content Matrix can automatically connect to SharePoint and authenticate license keys, through an environment's proxy setting, However, in some cases the proxy may need to be configured within Metalogix Content Matrix. In these cases users can specify the proxy settings though the connecting dialog.

There are two basic places where this proxy setting can be configured. The first of these is when activating a license key, and the second when connecting to SharePoint. The  dialogs for these options look slightly different, and the when you are using a proxy to connect to SharePoint, you have the additional option to Import Proxy from Internet Explorer.

To configure proxy settings:

1.In the Proxy server dialog, check the Enable proxy box.

2.Use the information in the following table to determine the appropriate action to take.

3.If you accessed the dialog from the License Activation dialog, click [Set].

NOTE:  If this method does not seem to be working, you can manually configure Metalogix Content Matrix to use a proxy setting.  See Manually Configuring Proxy Settings.
