Security

ActiveSpaces security provides the following features:

  • Authentication and Authorization
  • Transport Encryption

ActiveSpaces lets you:

  • Prevent unauthorized access to your data grid .
  • Secure data during transmission within the data grid .

ActiveSpaces allows you to authenticate the users of the data grid. This feature uses username and password authentication. Each ActiveSpaces process authenticates itself to the secure realm server using credentials contained in a password file. Additionally, the ActiveSpaces processes use a trust file to trust a secure realm server. See Enabling Authentication for more information.

Network communication between processes in a data grid can be encrypted to further protect your data from packet sniffing by unauthorized processes. See Enabling Encryption for more information.
