Configure the daemon for SSL

Complete the following to configure the AEL daemon for SSL:

1. Navigate to the adaptive-execution/config/application.properties file and open it with a text editor.
2. Set the values for your environment as in the following table:

Parameter	Value
websocketURL	The fully-qualified domain name of the node where the AEL daemon is installed. For example,websocketURL=wss://localhost:${ael.ssl.port}
ael.ssl.enabled	true
ael.ssl.key-store	/users/myusername/pentaho/mycertificate.p12
ael.ssl.key-store-type	PKCS12
ael.ssl.key-store-password	The SSL keystore password. This must be set to your keystore password.
ael.ssl.key-password	The SSL key password. This must be set to your key password.

You can now test your AEL configuration by creating a run configuration using the Spark engine. See **Run configurtaions** in the **Pentaho Data Integration** document for instructions.

The first time you start the AEL daemon, it will prompt you to enter the SSL keystore and key passwords.
