SSL overview

This topic is an overview of the SSL security protocol.

SSL is a security protocol that provides communication privacy. SSL enables client/server applications to communicate in a way that prevents eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery. You can configure the IMM2 to use SSL support for different types of connections, such as secure web server (HTTPS), secure LDAP connection (LDAPS), CIM over HTTPS, and SSH server. You can view or change the SSL settings from the Security option under the IMM Management tab. You can also enable or disable SSL and manage the certificates that are required for SSL.
