Developer Portal security configuration

Securing communication in Developer Portal is critical for protecting the data from unauthorized access. Developer Portal employs encryption protocols to safeguard data against interception, tampering and other security threats. This approach enhances data confidentiality, integrity and compliance with security standards and guidelines. Developer Portal addresses data security across different states of transmission and storage.

Securing data in motion
Data in motion refers to information exchanged between the Developer Portal and the other associated components.
Developer Portal, as a client, communicates with OpenSearch database, webMethods API Gateway and Federated API Management assuming them as the servers. You can secure their communication by using two-way Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The following sections explain how to enable SSL between Developer Portal and the other components:
Securing data at rest
Data at rest refers to information that is stored in a disk, file system or other persistent storage mechanisms. It includes installation, configuration, core and analytics data. In addition to having all data in motion be encrypted, you can ensure that the data at rest is also encrypted.
