Server Mode

When a database is configured for TLS/SSL security in server mode, incoming client requests do verify the certificate of the server, but the server does not verify the clients. In Vertica, the server is the Vertica database server, and the client is any Vertica user who logs into the database. The Vertica client user may log in to the database directly in a command window, or may connect to the Vertica database server via the Management Console running in a browser.
