Server Security
Sun Update Connection – Enterprise has a variety of security measures integrated into its solution.
Table 7–1 Integrated Server Security
Key Encryption
|
Communications between the dependency manager and the agents and console are protected by a private/public key encryption algorithm.
|
Proxy Support
|
Sun Update Connection – Enterprise supports HTTPS web proxy servers, enabling another level of security to
updates from the universal server.
|
Internet Protection
|
All Internet communications are protected by SSL and certificate verification.
All communications from the agents are proactive; the system dependency server pulls only
from the universal server, never pushes data to it.
|
Component Security
|
Every component available for download from the universal server is certified.
You cannot download Trojan horses or other exploits that are disguised as useful
software.
