Security

For communication security between servers and clients, and between servers and other servers, you must explicitly configure TLS within EMS.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol for transmitting encrypted data over the Internet or an internal network. TLS works by using public and private keys to encrypt data that is transferred over the TLS connection.

EMS supports TLS between the following components:

  • between an EMS client and the EMS server
  • between the administration tool and the EMS server
  • between the administration APIs and the EMS server
  • between routed servers
  • between fault-tolerant servers

See TLS Protocol for more information about TLS support in EMS.
