Secure Socket Layer SSL
Available in Nexus Repository OSS and Nexus Repository Pro
Using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) communication with the repository manager is an important security feature and a recommended best practice. Secure communication can be inbound or outbound.
Outbound client communication may include integration with:
- a remote proxy repository over HTTPS
- SSL/TLS secured servers (e.g. for SMTP/email integration)
- LDAP servers configured to use LDAPS
- specialized authentication realms such as the Crowd realm
Inbound client communication includes:
- web browser HTTPS access to the user interface
- tool access to repository content
- manual or scripted usage of the REST APIs
