Configuring TLS on the Data Streamer

You can set up secure communications between the Z Common Data Provider Data Streamer and its subscribers with one-way or two-way TLS.

About this task

Note: Do not configure a proxy if you intend to establish secure communication (one‑way or two‑way TLS) directly between the Data Streamer and the subscriber. When a proxy is used, the secure connection terminates between the Data Streamer and the proxy. TLS cannot be passed through or extended to the subscriber. As a result, the Data Streamer‑to‑subscriber connection cannot be secured with TLS when a proxy is in use.
Refer to the following diagram to understand the secure communication enhancements for the Data Streamer:
Important: One-way authentication creates a truststore on the client and a keystore on the server. Two-way authentication creates a truststore and a keystore on both the client and the server. Therefore, setting up one-way authentication is a prerequisite for two-way authentication.
