Network Security

This section describes ways you can keep your network secure.

Firewalls
Oracle recommends using a firewall to protect your network from external entities.
Reverse proxy servers
Using a reverse proxy server in front of Studio adds another layer of protection to BDD by preventing users from accessing your servers directly.
TLS/SSL
The TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocols provide end-to-end encryption for communications between applications over a network. (Note that TLS is technically the replacement of SSL, but both are commonly referred to as SSL.)
Kerberos
The Kerberos network authentication protocol enables client/server applications to identify one another in a secure manner, even when communicating over an unsecured network.
WebLogic Server security
WebLogic Server provides a J2EE container for hosting and managing Studio and the Dgraph Gateway Java applications. Additionally, WebLogic's Admin Server is used to perform many administrative tasks for the BDD cluster.
Jetty security
Jetty provides an open-source javax.servlet container for hosting the BDD Transform Service and Workflow Manager Service.
