How DXmanager Is Secured

DXmanager has the following security:

• DXmanager accepts only encrypted HTTP connections.

  This prevents the connection between DXmanager and the browser from being intercepted.

• All users must log in to access DXmanager, which uses Tomcat realm based authentication and authorization.

  This ensures that only people with sufficient permission can view, control, or configure a directory backbone.

• DXmanager uses certificate-signed Java applets.

  When you first open DXmanager, the browser asks if you trust the certificate authority that has issued the certificates.

  After you agree to this, DXmanager opens.
