Configure Encryption for NOS-less Software Package Transfers

To enable or disable encryption for NOS-less software package transfers in software delivery, configure the encryption configuration policy in the DSM Explorer. After you configure the policy, apply the policy to the software delivery agent.

Any other software delivery agent reporting to the same scalability server can specify a different value for encryption. For example, you can enable encryption for NOS-less software package transfers on one software delivery agent and disable it on the other software delivery agent reporting to the same scalability server.

To configure encryption for NOS-less software package transfers

  1. Navigate to Control Panel, Configuration, Configuration Policy, policy name, DSM, Software Delivery, File Transfer.

    A list of configuration policies appears.

  2. Double-click the following policy, and specify appropriate value in the Setting Properties dialog:
    Internal NOS-less download: Encryption

    Specifies whether to use encryption for NOS-less software package transfers. You can set the parameter value to Yes or No. Setting the value to Yes enables encryption for NOS-less software package transfers. However, setting the value to No does not use encryption for NOS-less software package transfers.

    Note: When encryption is disabled for NOS-less software downloads, software delivery stops handling the security of the software packages and scripts transferred across the network. So, make sure that you use some other means to protect any sensitive information. However, other NOS-less transfers in software delivery initiated through API-server or -calls follow the default configuration (encryption is enabled) of the File Transfer Server plug-in.

    Default: Yes

  3. Click OK.

    The Internal NOS-less download: Encryption configuration policy is configured.
