Security Considerations

In addition to the stated minimum requirements from the Release Notes, consider the following recommendations for the CA Process Automation installation:

• Configure CA Process Automation to use CA EEM as an authentication server. CA EEM eliminates plain text user names and passwords from being passed for authentication purposes.
• If you are using multi-tenancy for CA Process Automation, CA EEM installation is required.

  Note: For information about implementing multi-tenancy with CA Process Automation, see the CA Process Automation installation and configuration documentation.

• If you are using multi-tenancy for CA SDM, CA EEM installation is required.

  Note: If you are not using multi-tenancy, CA EEM configuration for CA SDM is optional.

• Configure CA Process Automation to communicate using secure communications over HTTPS. HTTPS URLs use SSL/TLS to eliminate plain text exchanges, protecting proprietary and other sensitive data from accidental or malicious disclosure.

  Note: For information about configuring CA Process Automation to use HTTPS, see the CA Process Automation installation and configuration documentation.
