SSL/TLS configuration

SSL/TLS configuration

With transport encryption, the connection is secured via SSL or TLS. The Gateway Role accesses the operating system. Its settings are used for connections.

NOTE: Recently, some encryption methods (e.g. DES or RC4) have proven to be unsafe. It is therefore advisable to deactivate them. Some cipher suites support a procedure called Perfect Forward Secrecy. In short, this prevents the contents of connections from possibly being decrypted by unauthorized third parties, even if the private key of the server certificate is known. By default, Windows does not use these methods preferentially.
