Hawk Agent(s) and Hawk Console: The operating system account for hosting the Hawk Agent or Hawk Microagent (HMA) and Hawk Console must be a super user account. Specify a strong password for the super user, which is heavily guarded and seldom used.Hawk Console Users/ Clients: TIBCO recommends that the operating system and browsers used for accessing Hawk Console Web GUI or REST API must be properly maintained and secured according to security best practices.Specify a strong password for the Hawk Console administrator accounts, considering that administrators perform all the critical operations. Weak administrator account passwords can result in security breach, resulting in severe damage and destabilization of the enterprise. The password must ideally consist of a minimum of eight characters, with a mix of uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers, and special characters. In the case of file-based authentication for Hawk Console, use the tibhawkpassword utility to obfuscate the passwords. You can use LDAP-based authentication for Hawk Console. In the LDAP-based authentication, the usernames and passwords are validated with a LDAP directory server.
TIBCO recommends that you use TIBCO Hawk® Container Edition instead of deploying TIBCO Hawk on the Cloud.
