Secure network connectivity is defined using secure communication profiles. These profiles define characteristics such as:
key stores.
trust stores.
the secure transport protocols to use, or not use.
the cipher suites to use or not use.
There are both client and server profiles. Client profiles define the security characteristics for outbound connections to external systems and nodes. Server profiles define the security characteristics for network listeners started by nodes and engines. This is shown in Figure 5.3, “Secure communication profiles”.
Secure client communication profiles are configured using the
SecureCommunicationClientProfile root configuration
object described in the section called “SecureCommunicationClientProfile”.
Secure server communication profiles are configured using the
SecureCommunicationServerProfile root configuration
object described in the section called “SecureCommunicationServerProfile”.
