Adding SSL encryption to NonStop server communication
March 10, 2003
Many companies look for solutions to encrypt their NonStop server Telnet traffic, when internal audits reveal that passwords are sent across the network in the clear. However, encrypting Telnet alone may not be sufficient. Many other standard applications (such as Web ViewPoint, NonStop ODBC, TSM, FTP, and Visual Inspect) also send unencrypted passwords. What good is it to encrypt Telnet if the SUPER. SUPER password can be sniffed while using TSM? Only a detailed analysis will yield answers to the question, How do I secure my NonStop system in a complex network? With SecurCS and SecurFTP, comForte provides solutions for adding Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transaction Layer Security (TLS) encryption transparently to existing NonStop server communication applications. comForte also offers standardized network security reviews for NonStop systems in the context of a networking environment.
