You should use SSL to protect connections between components on different computers.

The following diagram shows these secure connections:

• 1. Between the browser and both DXmanager and JXweb

  To make this link secure, encrypt communications between your browser and DXwebserver or JXweb.

• 2. Between DXmanager and the directory

  The link between DXmanager and the directory is always secure.

  DXmanager uses LDAPS to communicate with the directory.

• 3. Between JXweb and the directory

  To make this link secure, encrypt communications between JXweb and the directory.
