About PI SQL DAS configuration

PI SQL DAS is a self-hosted Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service that uses HTTP transport and TLS security. As a result, a port is bound with an X.509 certificate.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) uses certificates on the client and server to store encryption keys. The server provides its TLS certificate when a connection is made so that the client can verify the identity of the server. The server can also request a certificate from the client to provide mutual authentication of both sides of the connection.

Certificates are stored centralized, according to the IP address and port number of the connection. The special IP address 0.0.0.0 matches any IP address for the local machine. You must have administrative privileges to modify the certificates stored on the computer.

If you are required to use enterprise-type security certificates and have not selected it during the advanced installation, use the following information to configure an enterprise certificate for PI SQL DAS and bind it to the port used by PI SQL DAS.
