Control-M/Server security discusses standard Control-M security features. In addition, you can enhance Control-M communications security through the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol:
You can use SSL to protect communication links between Control-M components.
You can configure Control-M to encrypt and decrypt confidential information (such as job scheduling details) dynamically.
You can use digital signatures to ensure that unknown parties cannot modify Control-M elements.
For example, setting the appropriate authentication and privacy levels protects Control-M communication links as follows:
Authenticationenables each Control-M component to ensure the identity of other Control-M components with which it is communicating.
Privacy prevents a third party from capturing data by monitoring traffic between Control-M components.
SSL for Control-M authenticates and encrypts communications between
Control-M/Server and Control-M/Agent
Control-M/Server and Control-M/Enterprise Manager (Control-M/EM)
Control-M/EM and its clients
Control-M/EM and the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Server
