Secure Daemon
To connect to a secure daemon, specify three parts:
ssl:host:port_number
For example:
ssl:myhost.net:8344
ssl:102.24.12.3:8344
Colon characters (:) separate the three parts.
ssl indicates the protocol to use when attempting to connect to the daemon.
host indicates the host computer of the secure daemon. You can specify this host either as a network IP address, or a hostname. Omitting this part specifies the local host.
port_number specifies the port number where the secure daemon listens for TLS connections. This part is required; you may not omit it.
Two Identical Arguments
Programs that connect to a secure daemon must specify an identical three-part string to two API calls:
| • | The daemonName parameter of the call that registers the secure daemon’s certificate—see Secure Daemon |
| • | The daemon parameter of the call that creates the transport object that connects to the secure daemon |
