Securing An External Database - Polycom RMX 1500 Administrator's Manual

Securing an External Database

For more information see "Configuring Direct Connections to RMX" on
page G-1"Connecting to the Alternate Management Network" on page G-9.
Connection to the Alternate Management Network bypasses LAN and Firewall
security. Strict control of access to LAN 3 port is recommended.
TLS 1.0 is used when securing communications between the RMX and an
external database. The certificate is installed on the database server and
the RMX is the client. When the certificate is installed on the database
server, all client requests and responses are transferred via secure port
443.
It is important to verify that the external database application is operating
in secure mode before enabling secure external database communications
on the RMX. The RMX checks the validity of external database's certificate
before communicating. If there is a certificate error an Active Alarm is
raised with Error in external database certificate in the description field.
To enable secure RMX Communications with an External Database:
 Set the RMX to communicate with the database server via port 443 by
setting the value of the System Flag EXTERNAL_DB_PORT in system.cfg
to 443.
For more information see "Modifying System Flags" on page 19-6.
