  3. Click CSIv2 outbound communications.


Transport

Whether the client processes connect to the server using one of the server-connected transports.

Choose to use either SSL, TCP/IP, or Both as the outbound transport that a server supports. If we specify TCP/IP, the server supports only TCP/IP and cannot initiate SSL connections with downstream servers. If we specify SSL-supported, this server can initiate either TCP/IP or SSL connections. If we specify SSL-required, this server must use SSL to initiate connections to downstream servers. When we do specify SSL, decide which set of SSL configuration settings to use for the outbound configuration.

This decision determines which keyfile and trustfile to use for outbound connections to downstream servers.

Consider the following options:

TCP/IP

If selected, the server opens TCP/IP connections with downstream servers only.

SSL-required

If selected, the server opens SSL connections with downstream servers.

SSL-supported

If selected, the server opens SSL connections with any downstream server that supports them and opens TCP/IP connections with any downstream servers that do not support SSL.
Information Value
Default: SSL-supported
Range: TCP/IP, SSL-required, SSL-supported


SSL settings

List of predefined SSL settings for outbound connections. These settings are configured at the SSL Configuration Repertoires panel.

To access the panel...

  1. Click Security > SSL certificate and key management.

  2. Under Configuration settings, click Manage endpoint security configurations and trust zones.

  3. Expand Outbound > outbound_configuration_name.

  4. Under Related items, click SSL configurations.

Information Value
Data type: String
Range: Any SSL settings configured in the SSL Configuration Repertoires panel

This field is available only if a v6.1 server exists in the environment.


SSL enabled

Whether secure socket communication is enabled to the server.


Centrally managed

The selection of an SSL configuration is based upon the outbound topology view for the JNDI platform.

Centrally managed configurations support one location to maintain SSL configurations rather than spreading them across the configuration documents.
Information Value
Default: Enabled


Use specific SSL alias

SSL configuration alias to use for outbound SSL communications.

This option overrides the centrally managed configuration for the JNDI (LDAP) protocol.
