Configuring for secure communication
The Operations Center uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) to communicate with web browsers. The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol secures communications between the Operations Center and the hub server, and between the hub server and associated spoke servers.
About this task
TLS version 1.2 or later is required for secure communication between the IBM Storage Protect server and the Operations Center, and between the hub server and spoke servers.
Starting with version 8.2.0, communication between the IBM Storage Protect server and the Operations Center is secured by TLS version 1.3 by default. Both systems participating in the communication session must support TLS 1.3 to establish a TLS 1.3 connection. If either system supports only TLS 1.2, the session will automatically default to TLS 1.2.
