Local Tuxedo Access Points: Security

Use this page to define the security configuration of a local Tuxedo access point that will be used with this WTC Service.

Domain gateways can authenticate incoming connections requested by remote Tuxedo access points and outgoing connections requested by local Tuxedo access points. You define when security should be enforced for incoming connections from remote Tuxedo access points. Specify the level of security used by a particular local Tuxedo access point by setting the SECURITY attribute. Data encryption can be used to prevent network-based eavesdroppers from accessing the content of messages or application-generated messages flowing from local Tuxedo access points to remote Tuxedo access points. Configure this security mechanism by setting the MINENCRYPTBITS and MAXENCRYPTBITS attributes.

Configuration Options

Name Description

Name	Description
Security	The type of application security enforced. The types of security are: `NONE` : No security is used. `APP_PW` : Password security is enforced when a connection is established from a remote domain. The application password is defined in the WTCResourcesMBean. `DM_PW` : Domain password security is enforced when a connection is established from a remote domain. The domain password is defined in the WTCPasswordsMBean. MBean Attribute: `WTCLocalTuxDomMBean.Security` Secure value: `DM_PW`
Min Encryption Level	The minimum encryption key length (in bits) this local Tuxedo access point uses when establishing a session connection. A value of `0` indicates no encryption is used. Value Restrictions: The MinEncrypBits value must be less than or equal to the MaxEncrypBits value. A MinEncrypBits value of `40` can be used only with domains running Tuxedo 7.1 or higher. MBean Attribute: `WTCLocalTuxDomMBean.MinEncryptBits` Secure value: `40`
Max Encryption Level	The maximum encryption key length (in bits) this local Tuxedo access point uses when establishing a session connection. A value of `0` indicates no encryption is used. Value Restrictions: The MaxEncryptBits value must be greater than or equal to the MinEncrypBits value. A MaxEncryptBits of `40` can be used only with domains running Tuxedo 7.1 or higher. MBean Attribute: `WTCLocalTuxDomMBean.MaxEncryptBits` Secure value: `128`

Security

The type of application security enforced.

The types of security are:

NONE
: No security is used.
APP_PW
: Password security is enforced when a connection is established from a remote domain. The application password is defined in the WTCResourcesMBean.
DM_PW
: Domain password security is enforced when a connection is established from a remote domain. The domain password is defined in the WTCPasswordsMBean.

MBean Attribute:
WTCLocalTuxDomMBean.Security

Secure value: DM_PW

Min Encryption Level

The minimum encryption key length (in bits) this local Tuxedo access point uses when establishing a session connection. A value of 0 indicates no encryption is used.

Value Restrictions:

The MinEncrypBits value must be less than or equal to the MaxEncrypBits value.
A MinEncrypBits value of 40 can be used only with domains running Tuxedo 7.1 or higher.

MBean Attribute:
WTCLocalTuxDomMBean.MinEncryptBits

Secure value: 40

Max Encryption Level

The maximum encryption key length (in bits) this local Tuxedo access point uses when establishing a session connection. A value of 0 indicates no encryption is used.

Value Restrictions:

The MaxEncryptBits value must be greater than or equal to the MinEncrypBits value.
A MaxEncryptBits of 40 can be used only with domains running Tuxedo 7.1 or higher.

MBean Attribute:
WTCLocalTuxDomMBean.MaxEncryptBits

Secure value: 128
