Product Connectivity
TIBCO® Graph Database includes several interconnecting components and also connects with other TIBCO and third-party products. You can secure all connections within the TIBCO® Graph Database.
Connections among TIBCO® Graph Database components and applications
The diagram depicts a variety of components and other processes that communicate within a Graph Database ecosystem. (To simplify the diagram, the diagram omits redundant connections to duplicate processes).
This document addresses the security issues, that arise for each type of connection; and the actions you must take to ensure security.
The minimum viable secure deployment includes at least one Standalone Server, 2 Clients (including Admin), and a database segment on the OS filesystem. The minimum secure deployment for a Cluster is 1 Cluster Manager & 3 Agents, and 2 Clients.
The following table shows what the communication channel supports, and documentation will guide you to secure the same.
Client and Proxy channels can have more than 1 TCP and SSL transports. Transport choice is a function of application needs. An application that needs high throughput and runs behind a firewall in a data center and is localized within a subnet can choose TCP, whilst the need of securing the channel for any promiscuous sniffing requires the channel to be encrypted and will choose SSL. This document guides the user to configure the channel for Secured Transport.
Both the transports (SSL, and plain TCP) uses binary encoding such as ASN.1 DER encoding for efficient and fast transport of data.
