Configuring the Main Server

The main server is the host machine on which the encrypted proxy service runs; depending on the operating environment, it can be either a cloud-based host or a physical host. Technically, a single main server can host multiple encrypted proxy services—this depends on the server's configuration, as well as the degree of parallelism and complexity of the business workload.

The current version does not support configuring multiple main servers.

Procedure

  1. Logging In to the Database Encryption System using the system administrator (sysadmin) account.
  2. Select Encryption Proxy Service from the left navigation tree.
  3. In the right-hand pane, click Add New, then select Add Main Server from the pop-up menu, as shown in Figure 1.

  4. After clicking Add Main Server, configure the corresponding server information in the pop-up window, as shown in Figure 2. For configuring the main server, refer to Table 1 for parameter descriptions.
