Transport security

You can setup transport security via HTTPS for both the communication:

  1. From JewelSuite to the DMS server
  2. From the DMS Server to MongoDB (only makes sense for 3 tier setup)

From JewelSuite to the DMS server

You can setup HTTPS in step 2 of installing the DMS server. You need to know that all data (binary, object, passwords) is already AES encrypted before sending it to the DMS server, and is only decrypted once it gets back into JewelSuite. If you run the DMS server on an internet wide network, it is recommended to use HTTPS to also encrypt the metadata and HTTP calls.

From DMS Server to MongoDB (only makes sense for 3 tier setup)

When you have MongoDB not installed on the same machine as IIS you can secure all communications from the DMS server to MongoDB. You can do this by checking the 'Use secure connection (SSL)'. If you want to use 'Self signed certificates', you can check that option as well.
