Encryption with RSSL for C++ RFA 8.2 on Linux

Question

I am using C++ RFA v8.2 for my Linux application to connect to LSEG using Delivery Direct. Is there any encryption enabled by default? Does the Delivery Direct provide encryption at the network/connectivity layer?

I am using the RSSL connection type as follows.

\Connections\Connection_RSSL\connectionType = "RSSL"

I found out that there is tunnelling configuration available to enable encryption, but that is Windows and not Linux.

@Jirapongse thank you for your response.

I do not see Contact Premium Support enabled, could you please let me know how can I get it enabled?

@hdiniz Yes, I tested it and it works on Linux (WSL). If you are a RDC (Developer Connect) named user, you will see the Contact Premium Support button when access this RFA C++ product page. Then, you can contact the API support team directly via Contact Premium Support to confirm this. Yes, you need to contact the server team to verify whether encryption is enabled on the server. Alternatively, you can use the following openssl command to quickly check whether the server supports encrypted connections. openssl s_client -connect : If the server does not support encrypted connections, it should display the following message.
