<h2 id="conceptsintro">Universal Connection concepts</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Review the following concepts to become familiar with the technical and
|
||
|
|
configuration details involved with each of the connections that are available
|
||
|
|
through Universal Connection. The information presented about these concepts focuses on the
|
||
|
|
relationship between this technology and establishing a Universal Connection. Each concept
|
||
|
|
includes references to additional information about the topic.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Data protection technologies</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You need to understand how network security affects configuring a Universal Connection before
|
||
|
|
you start creating a configuration.</p><blockquote>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold"><a href="appprox.htm#appprox">Application proxies</a></span>
|
||
|
|
<br />If your method of accessing the Internet is through an
|
||
|
|
application proxy, some Universal Connection applications may be able to use
|
||
|
|
the proxy. However, you must ensure that you select a configuration method
|
||
|
|
that allows the remainder of your service data to connect through Universal Connection from
|
||
|
|
your server to IBM® without going through an application proxy.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold"><a href="packetff.htm#packetff">IP packet filter firewall</a></span>
|
||
|
|
<br />You
|
||
|
|
may have to change packet filter rules to allow Universal Connection traffic
|
||
|
|
to flow through your firewall to IBM.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><a href="ssl.htm#ssl"><span class="bold">Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS)</span></a>
|
||
|
|
<br />SSL/TLS protocol helps provide privacy over a network. Universal Connection creates
|
||
|
|
a Certificate Store, containing trusted Certificate Authority Certificates
|
||
|
|
for use by SSL/TLS, and you do not need to change this item. Some service
|
||
|
|
applications use SSL/TLS to protect the data flowing to IBM.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold"><a href="icnat.htm#icnat">Network address translation (NAT)</a></span>
|
||
|
|
<br />Network
|
||
|
|
address translation (NAT) changes internal or private addresses to public
|
||
|
|
or globally routable IP addresses. The Universal Connection traffic can flow through a NAT
|
||
|
|
to IBM. This is enabled automatically.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold"><a href="socksserver.htm#socksserver">SOCKS</a></span>
|
||
|
|
<br />A SOCKS server or client is a TCP/IP proxy application
|
||
|
|
that allows you to send information through a wide variety of protocols without
|
||
|
|
providing the internal network information. If your network includes a SOCKS
|
||
|
|
server, you must ensure that you do not route Universal Connection traffic through this server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold"><a href="vpncon.htm#vpncon">Virtual private network</a></span>
|
||
|
|
<br />Learn how VPN affects data protection when configuring
|
||
|
|
a Universal Connection between your server and the IBM support services. Some service applications
|
||
|
|
use VPN to protect the data flowing to IBM.</p></blockquote>
