Securing Communication between RACF and CA IAM Connector Server

Identity Management can send passwords and other security information across the network.

When you do not set up SSL communication, these details are sent without encryption, creating a security risk.

We recommend that you use SSL to secure the connection between RACF and CA IAM Connector Server, using the steps in Install CA LDAP and Configure It for SSL and Import the CA LDAP Server Certificate into the CA IAM Connector Server Keystore.
