Enable secure RMI

Note: PPM does not enable SSL by default, for enabling it requires other user information. However, we recommend that you enable it, especially in production environment, to make sure data being transmitted is encrypted. The use of SSL protects sensitive information from the risk of eavesdropping, data tampering, or message forgery in the process of transmitting.

Example: Example

If you ran keytool to create the file security/keystore relative to the <PPM_Home> directory, and you used the password "welcome", ran on host "caboose", and listened on port 1099, your server.conf parameters would look as follows:

com.kintana.core.server.RMI_URL=rmis://caboose:1099/KintanaServer
com.kintana.core.server.KEY_STORE_FILE=security/keystore
com.kintana.core.server.KEY_STORE_PASSWORD=welcome

Note: Micro Focus does not recommend using self-signed certificates in production environments as they may negate the benefits of end-to-end security by decreasing the ability of a user to detect a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
