Figure 48. Platform TLS Settings window
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| State | TLS | Defaults to TLS only. |
| Port | number | The port for secure communication. Defaults to 5011 |
| Certificate | drop-down list | Provides a list of available certificate aliases. The tridium certificate is the default, self-signed certificate created when you first accessed the platform. |
| Protocol | drop-down listTLSv1.0+ (default)TLSv1.1+TLSv1.2 | Configures the minimum level of the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol to which the server accepts negotiations. Options
include versions TLSv1.0+ TLSv1.1+, TLSv1.2+, and TLSv1.3. Choosing the lowest level works with most clients, providing greater flexibility than an individual version, however, choosing
a higher level provides more security.
During the handshake, the server and client agree on which protocol to use. Change Protocol from the default if your network requires a specific version or if a future vulnerability is found in one of the versions. |
