Security levels

Security levels are:

  • No security: This determines access to resources by the network's security. All network traffic is in clear text.

    A system with no security must have at least one engine and a host server for every engine, and may have any number of clients.

  • Basic security: This enables the security administrator of your organization's system to issue certificates that identify individuals who are authorized to access the system, and revoke those certificates. In a system with basic security, only individuals who have valid certificates can log in to the system.

    The major component of basic security is the Certificate Manager, which the security administrator uses to issue, modify, and revoke certificates.

  • Advanced security: This provides fine-grained control over access to the message brokering system. With advanced security, the security administrator can set user-specific permissions. This defines not only which resources each user can access, but also which operations each user can perform on each resource. Advanced security also enables the creation of roles to which multiple users can belong, and set role-level permissions that apply to all role members.

    This level requires security server installation.

    Note: Advanced security is a premium feature that is sold separately as an add-on. Contact your Account Manager for additional information.
