| *Security* describes how to implement the security framework for the <%=vars.product_name%> native client, including authentication, authorization, encryption, and SSL client/server communication. |
| |
| The security framework authenticates clients that attempt to connect to a <%=vars.product_name%> cache server and authorizes client cache operations. You can also configure it for client authentication of servers, and you can plug in your own implementations for authentication and authorization. |
| |
| - **[Authentication](overviewauthentication.html)** |
| |
| A client is authenticated when it connects, with valid credentials, to a <%=vars.product_name%> cache server that is configured with the client `Authenticator` callback. |
| |
| - **[Encrypted Authentication](encrypted-auth.html)** |
| |
| You can set up encrypted authentication using Diffe-Hellman or the sample PKCS implementation. |
| |
| - **[Client Authorization](overviewclientauthorization.html)** |
| |
| Using a provided callback that implements the `AccessControl` interface, you can configure each server to authorize some or all cache operations. |
| |
| - **[Security-Related System Properties (geode.properties)](security-systemprops.html)** |
| |
| The table describes the security-related system properties in the `geode.properties` file for native client authentication and authorization. |
| |
| - **[SSL Client/Server Communication](sslclientserver.html)** |
| |
| This section describes how to configure OpenSSL; implement SSL-based communication between your clients and servers; and run clients and servers with SSL enabled. |
