Security and Authentication

As you are likely to want to employ the public Internet Protocol (IP) network infrastructure as an economic means to network geographically separated sites, SDS enables you to institute the security and authentication measures.

The AllowedHost and RestrictedHostAccess parameters in the [ConnectionParams] section of the JADE initialization file enables you to specify by name or IP address a list of hosts from which the node is willing to accept in-bound SDS connections.

When host restrictions are enforced, the primary database server refuses connections from any non-listed hosts. For details, see "Connection Parameters Section [ConnectionParams]", in the JADE Initialization File Reference. See also "End-to-End SSL Encryption", in Chapter 2 of the JADE Installation and Configuration Guide.
