6.13 Communication encryption in JP1/Base

JP1/Base can encrypt communication through SSL during the following communications:

• Communication associated with an authentication server (user authentication)

  • Communication for user authentication between products using JP1/Base user authentication and an authentication server

  • Communication for commands^# related to JP1/Base user authentication

• Communication associated with command execution by JP1/IM

  • Communication for automated action between JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/Base on a manager host

  • Communication for command execution between JP1/IM - View and JP1/Base on a manager host

# Commands related to JP1/Base user authentication are as follows:

jbsadduser, jbschgpasswd, jbsrmuser, jbslistuser, jbsaclreload, jbslistacl, jbssetacl, jbsrmacl

The following figure shows an overview of JP1/Base communication capable of SSL communication.

Figure 6‒10: JP1/Base communication capable of SSL communication

Note that to use SSL communication, the version of JP1/Base on the host (server side) at the connection destination and the hosts (client side) connecting to that host must be 11-00 or later.

Note on using SSL communication on an authentication server (user authentication)

If SSL communication is enabled on an authentication server host, SSL communication must also be enabled on each host that connects to that authentication server. If hosts that do not use SSL communication must be authenticated, you need to install an authentication server that does not use SSL communication to separate the user authentication block.
