Methods to secure TEXTML Server communications
To secure connections to the IXIA TEXTML Server, address both user authentication and secure connectivity methods.
- User authentication: Authentication is the process of identifying and verifying TEXTML Server users when they log in before providing access. The IXIA CCMS supports local authentication.
- Secure connections: For additional security, you can secure connections between the TEXTML Server and the CCMS components through the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. Configuring the SSL protocol ensures that sensitive information (user names, passwords, data) can be securely exchanged between the TEXTML Server and CCMS.
Note: If
you secure connections using the SSL protocol, you do not need to configure user
authentication.
