Command Line Options

The server accepts a few command-line options for TLS.

When starting tibemsd, you can specify the following options:

-ssl_trace—enables tracing of loaded certificates. This prints a message to the console during startup of the server that describes each loaded certificate.
-ssl_debug_trace—enables more detailed TLS tracing for debugging only; it is not for use in production systems.
-ssl_password—specifies the private key password. Alternatively, you can specify this password in the ssl_server_password parameter in tibemsd.conf. If you do not supply a password using either of these methods, tibemsd will prompt for the password when it starts. For more information, see the description of the ssl_password configuration parameter.
