Environment specifications
The support that IXIA CCMS needs from your coporate infrastructure, including requirements for authentication and the corporate network.
- Network requirements
  IXIA CCMS has requirements for the performance, security, and other characteristics of your corporate network.
  - Firewall and address translation
    Components can be installed behind a firewall, but specific traffic flows must be allowed.
  - Network latency requirements
    Your network must provide adequate network communication between IXIA TEXTML Server and other IXIA CCMS components.
  - Remote access latency requirements
    If you use a remote access server such as Citrix or Remote Desktop, your network must provide adequate network communication with the remote desktop server.
  - Encrypted communication support (SSL)
    IXIA CCMS supports encryption in two areas: between TEXTML Server and other components and between the web browser and IXIA CCMS Web Server.
  - Tomcat server
    You are responsible for security measures related to the Tomcat server.
  - Reverse proxy considerations
    Depending on your environment and needs, you may need to set up a reverse proxy for IXIA CCMS Web Server.
  - Virtual Private Network (VPN) Considerations
    Access for remote users to the IXIA CCMS solution is commonly delivered over a VPN connection. A VPN permits additional layers of security to be applied to the network traffic. Several technical considerations must be made when deploying over a VPN.
- Authentication
  IXIA CCMS requires new objects in your central directory to control execution and access to the docbase of TEXTML Server. You can optionally use Kerberos authentication.
- Infrastructure services required
  A deployment of IXIA CCMS requires support from your corporate infrastructure.
