What to consider when using SSL

Issue

What has to be considered if an Autodesk Vault installation with coolOrange powerGate is supposed to use Secure Socket Layer(SSL) or Transport Layer Security(TLS)?

Solution

The Vault webservice can be configered to use SSL without affecting powerGate, as powerGate doesn't use the same connection as Vault. If your powerGate Server add-in uses SSL/TLS it might be necessary to set the security protocol in the powerGate client. In Powershell this can be done like this:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
