Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication

Edit online

You can secure your environment by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication among IBM® Verify, Security Directory Integrator, and the Oracle servers. You can configure SSL communication across the entire solution.

To use SSL communication between the system components, you can configure the Security Directory Integrator server as the SSL server. You can configure both the On-Premise Identity Brokerage server and the Oracle servers as SSL clients.

The two main communication channels that you can secure with SSL communication are depicted in Figure1.

The image shows SSL communication overview.

Each of these channels governs the communication between two main system components.

  1. This channel includes communication between On-Premise Identity Brokerage server and Security Directory Integrator. To configure SSL communication for this channel, see the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) information in the IBM Security Dispatcher Installation and Configuration Guide.
  2. This channel includes communication between Security Directory Integrator and the Oracle Database Server.
Note: Configuring SSL for each of these channels is optional. You can choose whether to configure SSL for neither, one or both channels.
