Securing

This section provides information on securing your HCL Sametime environments.

• Encryption usage in Sametime
  HCL Sametime uses several types of encryption to protect data.
• Securing connections
  The various connections to Sametime can be secured using TLS.
• Enabling Single Sign-on
  The HCL Sametime server installer enables required JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication. Additionally, the Sametime server supports Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA) Single Sign-on (SSO).
• Setting up TLS for the Mongo database
  You can update the MongoDB connection with the Sametime server to encrypt data flowing between the Sametime server and a TLS-enabled MongoDB. This step is optional but is recommended for multi-Kubernetes-cluster deployments.
• Replacing the TLS certificates for Web Chat and Meetings
  The Sametime server is pre-configured with a self-signed certificate. You can replace the self-signed certificate with a third party certificate.
• Applying Let's Encrypt certificates
  This topic describes how to replace the self-signed certificate with a third-party certificate.
