Partitioning and TLS/SSL

Security protocol considerations apply when using Essbase partitioning in secure (TLS/SSL) mode. The partition source and target must have the same security protocol; for example, both or neither use TLS/SSL.

To enable Essbase to use TLS/SSL connectivity, refer to deployment documentation. For independent deployments, see Secure Your Communication and Network.

One way to check whether secure mode is enabled is to check whether the ENABLESECUREMODE configuration is set to TRUE.

Consider setting CLIENTPREFERREDMODE to SECURE.

If CLIENTPREFERREDMODE is not set, or is set to FALSE, but ENABLESECUREMODE is set to TRUE, you can securely create and refresh partitions in MaxL by adding :secure to the HOST-NAME string. For example: 

login esbuser esbpassword on “localhost:6423:secure”;
