IT Analytics Data Collector Installation and Configuration Guide for Cohesity NetBackup

SSL implementation overview

The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol enables corporations to leverage standards-based security to protect and encrypt traffic between the IT Analytics Portal, the Data Collector, and the client browser. The following diagram illustrates how SSL is implemented for IT Analytics. The Apache Web Server typically resides on the Portal Server.

Note:

The majority of customers that choose to utilize https connection to their portal utilize a single IP address on the Portal server, providing secured connections to both the Portal user interface and data receiver. In these configurations, a single certificate configured for Subject Alternative names protects both the URLs.

Implementing SSL involves these main tasks:

  • See Obtain an SSL certificate.

  • See Update the web server configuration to enable SSL on the Portal server.

  • See Enable / Disable SSL for a Data Collector.

  • See Enable / Disable SSL for emailed reports.
