Some adapters support SSL/TLS secure encrypted communication to remote systems, but some do not. What can we do for these connections which do not yet support TLS?

Implementation guidance

Create an SSL tunnel which encrypts the network traffic between the StreamBase server and the remote server. The StreamBase server would use a localhost:port address to connect to the tunnel, and the tunnel would have the remote hostname:port and manage the keys needed to encrypt the traffic. A common tunnel implementation is 'stunnel' (https://www.stunnel.org/). 

If you would like SSL/TLS support directly available within an adapter configuration, please submit the enhancement request to TIBCO Ideas (https://ideas.tibco.com). If you need to communicate non-public information to Product Management (needed-by dates, business impact, etc.) please first submit the Idea and then let Support know what additional information to send to Product Management.

The advantage of using Ideas is that your request goes directly to Product Management and appears on their dashboard and in their reports, and you get feedback from the PM and other customers. The best ideas become change requests. This is better than having Support file the change request.
