# SSL Connection

The IBM DB2 connector supports SSL connections.

**Configuration Steps:**

1. On the source VA, login with the SailPoint user.
2. Go to `/home/sailpoint/certificates`.
3. The final certificate file obtained from the server must be placed in this directory.
4. In the hosts.yaml file make an entry of the DB2 Server host, in the `xxx.xx.xx.xxx <DB2 server hostname>` format.

   > **Note**
   >
   > For information on creating a hosts.yaml file, refer to [Configuring a Hosts.yaml File](<https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/va/config_va.html#configuring-a-hostsyaml-file>).
5. Restart the CCG using the following command: `sudo systemctl restart ccg`
6. Create a source on SailPoint with the following URL:

   `jdbc:db2://<host>:<port on which TLS is configured>/<Database>:sslConnection=true;`
