Internal and External ActiveMatrix Administrator Communication

Running the External Connector of ActiveMatrix Administrator

We recommend that you:

• Run the external HTTP connector of ActiveMatrix Administrator in the SSL-enabled mode. This connector serves as the web front end for ActiveMatrix Administrator. (The default port is 8120.)
• Use your own SSL certificate obtained by a well-known certificate authority. If you update the SSL certificate, you must obtain the certificates used by ActiveMatrix Administrator CLI scripts. For information about how to update the remote.properties file of CLI scripts to provide client certificates, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid Administration.
• Configure the external HTTP connector to use TLSv1.2 protocol. Starting with ActiveMatrix Service Grid 3.4.0, the TLSv1.2 protocol is enabled by default.

Running the Internal Communication of ActiveMatrix Administrator

Between ActiveMatrix enterprise entities, the communication is either via TCP or TIBCO EMS, and we recommend that both these modes of transport are secured via SSL.
