Securing Communications Between the OCSBC and SDM with TLS

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

To configure the OCSBC 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 OCSBC. When the acp-tls-profile parameter specifies a valid TLS profile, the OCSBC negotiates a TLS connection with SDM.

Note:

This feature requires SDM version 8.1 and above.
