Configuring Security

  • Encrypted connections

    InfoConnect sessions support a number of encryption options, including SSL/TLS, SSH, and Kerberos. To see which options are available with each connection type, see Secure Connections.

  • Reflection Certificate Manager

    InfoConnect includes the Reflection Certificate Manager, which you can use to manage PKI certificates for use by InfoConnect sessions. See Digital Certificates and Reflection Certificate Manager.

  • Deploying PKI and SSH settings

    If you configure certificate authentication using the Reflection Certificate Manager, settings are saved to a .pki folder in the user folder. If you configure non-default Secure Shell connections, settings are saved to a .ssh folder in the user data folder. These settings are not included in compound documents.

  • Trusted locations

    A trusted location is a directory that is designated as a secure source for opening files. By default, InfoConnect allows users to open documents only in directories specified as trusted locations. Settings to modify these defaults are available from the Workspace Settings dialog box. See Configure Trusted Locations.

  • Information Privacy

    Information Privacy features allow you to configure Reflection so that the sensitive data is not displayed on the screen or in productivity features, such as Screen History. It also allows you to require secure connections. See Configure Information Privacy.

  • API and Macro Security

    Settings limiting API and macro functionality are available from the Workspace Settings dialog box. See Configure API and Macro Security.
