| = Router security |
| |
| {RouterName} provides authentication and authorization mechanisms so that you can control who can access the router network, and what they can do with the messaging resources. |
| |
| Authentication:: |
| {RouterName} supports both SSL/TLS and SASL for encrypting and authenticating remote peers. Using these mechanisms, you can secure the router network in the following ways: |
| |
| * Authenticate incoming connections from remote peers (such as clients and message brokers) |
| * Provide authentication credentials for outgoing connections to remote peers (such as clients and message brokers) |
| * Secure the inter-router connections between the routers in the router network |
| |
| Authorization:: |
| {RouterName} provides a `policy` mechanism that you can use to enforce user connection restrictions and AMQP resource access control. |
