SSL protocol lets you enforce a secure authentication regime to regulate access to data resources.

If you plan to build secure Java programs, it is recommended that you configure each TDV instance and each component with its own JKS (Java keystore) certificate prior to deployment. After using TDV to define user and group access profiles, you can begin to layer authentication protocols.

TDV includes a generic JKS file so that you can use it for development and testing of Web services and for JDBC, ODBC, or ADO.net clients secured over HTTPS ports.

You need Read All Resources and Modify All Resources rights to change the JKS file location, file type, or password.

The diagram shows the main components that communicate with each other and therefore require SSL authentication if the installation is to be secure.
