5.0 Securing Fan-Out Driver Communication

NetIQ recommends using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocols for driver communication. By default, the SSL protocol is not configured among the Fan-Out components. You must configure the SSL connection among the following Fan-Out components:

The following figure represents the secured connection between the Fan-Out components.

To support the SSL connections, you need to create keystore and truststore files. This section explains how to create, export, and store this certificate on your server

After the secured connection is enabled, the Fan-Out components perform an SSL handshake to establish a secure channel.
