Securing Outbound Connection with Proxy

In large systems distributed over multiple networks it may be necessary to communicate over an untrusted channel, for example the internet. In such situations the Proxy can be used.

The connection between two Proxy instances is encrypted and secured through TLS/SSL.

To verify the identity of the connection partners and avoid man-in-the-middle attacks, the connection uses TLS/SSL and pre-shared certificates. They are stored via a Java key store defined in the Proxy configuration. For more information, see About Proxy.
