Security considerations

Before you can install IBM® Maximo® Application Suite, you must ensure that your environment meets all security requirements.

Maximo Application Suite deployment complies with the following security considerations:

Communication to the IBM Maximo Manage database uses JDBC with SSL enabled.
SSH keys used for the connection to the bootnode and Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster nodes (master/worker/infra).
Bootnode runs within the customers Amazon Web Services account and does not have connectivity to the external network during and post deployment.
Product images are pulled from authenticated IBM entitled registries.
Credentials are kept in Red Hat OpenShift secrets.
Access to the Red Hat OpenShift cluster nodes is only through the bastion host using private SSH key.
The Amazon Web Services portal uses HTTPS (SSL/TLS certificates) for encryption.
