Securing of communication with adapters

The ISIM Server uses either SSL or Secure Shell (SSH) communication to communicate securely with supported adapters.

Managed resources can communicate with ISIM adapters with the following protocols.

SSL

Configures adapters, such as Active Directory or Lotus Notes , to use SSL authentication to communicate with ISIM Server. Not all adapters use the same SSL configuration.

Secure Shell (SSH)

Is used between the adapter and managed resource. The SSH protocol requires no configuration. The use of SSH between the adapter and managed resources cannot be disabled. However, configuration of SSH might be required on the managed resource. For more information, see ISIM adapter installation and configuration guides for UNIX and Linux .
