5. Optional: Set Up Two-Way SSL Between Ambari Server and Ambari Agents

Two-way SSL provides a way to encrypt communication between Ambari Server and Ambari Agents. By default Ambari ships with Two-way SSL disabled. To enable Two-way SSL:

	Important
	Ambari Server should not be running when you do this: either make the edits before you start Ambari Server the first time or bring the server down to make the edits.

On the Ambari Server host, open /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties with a text editor.
Add the following property:
```
security.server.two_way_ssl = true
```
Start or restart the Ambari Server.
```
ambari-server restart
```

The Agent certificates are downloaded automatically during Agent Registration.
