Note: Support for secure connections to TIBCO FTL was added in version 5.2. Previous versions of RTView do not support secure connections to TIBCO FTL.
The Data Server connects to TIBCO FTL using the TIBCO FTL API. The TIBCO FTL Server can be configured to run with transport encryption and additionally with username/password authentication. If transport encryption is enabled, follow the instructions in the TIBCO FTL Administration Guide to create a trust file (certificate), which by default is named ftl-trust.pem. Copy this file into your projects/rtview-server directory and import it into your JVM keystore with a command such as:
keytool -alias ftl -file ftl-trust.pem -import -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit
In the TIBCO FTL Add Connection dialog in the RTView Configuration Application , use an https URL to connect to TIBCO FTL Servers with transport encryption enabled. If the TIBCO FTL server is configured with authentication, fill in the Username and Password fields.
