Encryption

This section provides information on data encryption in the Suite Management Portal platform.

TLS/SSL Data Transmission

The Suite Management Portal platform was configured to use TLS/SSL to transmit data between the server and browsers.

Customers can change the default value of SSL CIPHER through the following steps:

  1. On master node, change the ssl-ciphers value in file $K8S_HOME/objectdefs/nginx-ingress.yaml.
  2. Recreate the ingress container with the commands below:

    kubectl delete -f $K8S_HOME/objectdefs/nginx-ingress.yaml

    kubectl create -f $K8S_HOME/objectdefs/nginx-ingress.yaml

For detailed information, please see the online help topic, Working with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) in a Production Environment. See the Suite Management Portal Online Help Center in the Suite Management Portal top right corner.

Encryption of stored database fields

The Suite Management Portal platform uses proprietary algorithms when encrypting data stored in the database and uses HPE Identity Manager (IDM) to manage user passwords.
