# sslputget example This example illustrates how to use SSL encryption for all traffic between a .NET application and Apache Geode.

Prerequisites

• Install Apache Geode
• Build and install Apache Geode Native
• Install OpenSSL

Running

1. From a command shell, set the current directory to the sslputget directory in your example workspace.

   $ cd workspace/examples/build/dotnet/sslputget
   

2. Run the startserver.ps1 script to start the Geode cluster with authentication and create a region.

   For Windows cmd:

   $ powershell.exe -File startserver.ps1
   

   For Windows Powershell:

   $ startserver.ps1
   

3. Execute Debug\dotnet-sslputget.exe. Expect the following output:

   Storing id and username in the region
   Getting the user info from the region
   rtimmons = Robert Timmons
   scharles = Sylvia Charles 
   

4. Run the stopserver.ps1 script to gracefully shutdown the Geode cluster.

   For Windows cmd:

   $ powershell.exe -File stopserver.ps1
   

   For Windows Powershell:

   $ stopserver.ps1
