Secure connection to DB

Post by hiits100rav »

Hi,

We have a strict infosec policy to make sure that the passwords are secure all through the process.
My question is regarding the transmission of password from connecting from TM1 to DB using ODBC connector. Is this connection secure using SSL/TLS? How can I identify or make it to use SSL?

Thanks!

This will entirely depend on the configuration of the ODBC connector as TM1 simply passes the credentials/data to the connector which in turn actually communicates with the db.

Hi

You mention TLS which implies you are using Oracle? If so then yes it supports that. However, as Brian says that is all configured in the ODBC setup
