Configure Endpoints

A Service Broker endpoint enables communication outside the SQL Server instance. The endpoint configuration determines the communication protocols, encryption and message transfer options for Service Broker communications.

You also run Transport Security Configuration wizard to configure communication for both SQL Server instances within the same dialog. See Configure Transport Security for more information.
