Securing Communications Between the E-SBC and SDM with TLS

You can use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to secure the communications link between the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) and the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager (SDM). Note that the systems use Acme Control Protocol (ACP) for this messaging.

To configure the E-SBC to use TLS for this ACP messaging:

1. Configure a TLS profile. The tls-profile object is located under security, where you add certificates, select cipher lists, and specify the TLS version for each profile.
2. Configure system-config element's acp-tls-profile parameter to specify this TLS profile.

The acp-tls-profile parameter is empty by default, which means that ACP over TLS is disabled. When ACP over TLS is disabled, the SDM establishes a TCP connection with the E-SBC. When the acp-tls-profile parameter specifies a valid TLS profile, the E-SBC negotiates a TLS connection with SDM.

Note:

This feature requires SDM version 8.1 and above.
