Secure Socket Layer SSL in Nexus Repository 2
Nexus Repository 2
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
