General Security Environment
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.
To ensure secure (HTTPS) communication between Hawk Console and the GUI or REST API users, configure a valid X.509 certificate in Hawk Console. The certificate must be signed by a CA authority and recognized by the browsers used.
