Configuring for SSL communication
The Operations Center uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) to communicate with web browsers. The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) can secure communications between the Operations Center and the hub server, and between the hub server and associated spoke servers.
About this task
When you install the IBM Spectrum Protect™ server and the Operations Center, the default configuration requires TLS 1.2 for secure communication between the server and the Operations Center, and between the hub server and spoke servers. During installation, you can disable the requirement for secure communication, or specify an earlier version of the SSL/TLS protocol. Unless the requirement for secure communication was disabled for the Operations Center and all servers, you must configure SSL communication.
