5.1.2 Communication between the Sentinel Server and the
Sentinel Client Applications
Sentinel Client applications such as the Sentinel Control Center (SCC), Sentinel Data Manager
(SDM), and Solution Designer use SSL communication by default via the SSL Proxy Server.
To enable communication between the Sentinel server and the SCC, the SDM and the Solution
Designer running as client applications on the server, specify the following information in the
<
Install_Dirirectory>/configuration.xml
:
<strategy active="yes" id="proxied_client"
location="com.esecurity.common.communication.strategy.proxystrategy.ProxiedCl
ientStrategyFactory">
<transport type="ssl">
<ssl host="localhost" keystore="/opt/novell/sentinel6_rd_x86-64/
config/.proxyClientKeystore" port="10013" usecacerts="false"/>
</transport>
</strategy>
To enable communication between the Sentinel server and the SCC, the SDM, and the Solution
Designer running through Web Start, the communication strategy is defined on the server in the
< Install_Dirirectory >/3rdparty/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/novellsiemdownloads/
configuration.xml
file as follows:
<strategy active="yes" id="proxied_client"
location="com.esecurity.common.communication.strategy.proxystrategy.ProxiedCl
ientStrategyFactory" >
<transport type="ssl">
<ssl host="164.99.18.162" port="10013" keystore="./.novell/sentinel/
.proxyClientKeystore" />
</transport>
</strategy>
For more information on setting up custom server and client certificates, see “ Processes ” in the
Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment User Guide .
5.1.3 Communication between the Server and the Database
The protocol used for communication between the server and the database is defined by the JDBC
driver and is used for the communication with the database. Some drivers are capable of encrypting
the communication with the database.
Sentinel Rapid Deployment uses the PostgreSQL driver (
postgresql-<version>.jdbc3.jar
)
provided at PostgreSQL Download Page (http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html) , to connect to
the PostgreSQL database, which is a Java (Type IV) implementation. This driver supports
encryption for data communication. To configure encryption for the data communication, refer to
PostgreSQL Encryption Options (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/encryption-
options.html)
.
