Securing data that flows between eXtreme Scale and Liberty with SSL encryption
Configure SSL properties and JMX ports to secure sensitive information that flows between WebSphere® eXtreme Scale and Liberty.
About this task
The security of SSL depends on protecting the keystores and the truststores, so that only authorized users have access to the keystores and truststores. After you enable SSL encryption, you must specify a JMXConnectorPort and a JMXServicePort value in the server properties file to have SSL protection for JMX traffic.
The transport between the JMX client and server can be secured with transport layer security (TLS) or SSL. If the transportType of catalog server or container server is set to SSL_Required or SSL_Supported, then you must use SSL to connect to the JMX server.
