Encrypting Network Traffic at CommCell Level

You can encrypt network traffic at the CommCell level by adding the mandateEncryption additional setting to the CommServe computer.

Encrypting network traffic sets the communication tunnel protocol to HTTPS (encrypted) for all network routes, and creates the following entry in all client network Fwconfig.txt files:

  • force_incoming_https = 1

Procedure

  1. Follow the steps described in Adding or Modifying Additional Settings from the CommCell Console, using the following parameters:

    Setting Name

    mandateEncryption

    Category

    CommServDB.GxGlobalParam

    Type

    INTEGER

    Value

    1

  2. Push network configuration at the topology level or at the client group level where network routes are configured.

What to Do Next

You can enforce automatic tunneling, and then encrypt automatic tunneling, for a client computer or client group.
