Understanding REN Server Security Configuration

Protect the REN server behind firewalls. A reverse proxy server can be used between browser clients and the REN server. Browser sessions can be SSL-encrypted by means of a reverse proxy server or hardware SSL accelerator.

Note:

The security of your PeopleSoft system and configuration of load balancers, switches, and reverse proxy servers is beyond the scope of this document. Refer to your PeopleBooks for more information.

REN server access from browser clients is restricted to users who are currently signed in to PeopleSoft software with appropriate REN server permissions. You must enable single sign-in security to obtain REN server access. Permission to access REN server applications is granted on permission lists, which are in turn associated with security roles and user IDs. Clients lacking access permission receive a 403 Forbidden page from the REN server.

Note:

REN server access requires that single sign-in be enabled.
