Connecting to a Metaspace Without Using a Security Token File

A a security domain requestor can also connect to a metaspace without specifying a security token file. In this scenario, an empty string (“none”) is used as the name of the security token file when connecting to the metaspace.

When a security domain requestor does not use a security token file, the following occurs:

  • Connections to any metaspace in any security domain are allowed.
  • A transport security level of encrypted_normal is used by default.
  • If the security domain's transport security level is encrypted_strong, the security domain requestor's transport security level is automatically upgraded to encrypted_strong.

See Transport Security for more information on transport security levels.
