# Configure Incoming SSL Connections

To configure a connector to accept data sent to its ACI port over SSL, follow these steps.

To configure an incoming SSL Connection

1. Stop the connector.
2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.
3. In the `[Server]` section set the `SSLConfig` parameter to specify the name of a section in the configuration file for the SSL settings. For example:

       [Server]
       SSLConfig=SSLOptions

4. Create a new section in the configuration file (the name must match the name you used in the `SSLConfig` parameter). Then, use the SSL configuration parameters to specify the details for the connection. You must set the following parameters:

   `SSLMethod` | The SSL protocol to use.
   `SSLCertificate` | The SSL certificate to use (in PEM format).
   `SSLPrivateKey` | The private key for the SSL certificate (in PEM format).

   For example:

       [SSLOptions]
       SSLMethod=TLSV1.3
       SSLCertificate=host1.crt
       SSLPrivateKey=host1.key

5. Save and close the configuration file.
6. Restart the connector.
