You can encrypt communications between the VMware Smart Assurance Network Configuration Manager Integration Adapter for Smarts Manager and the VMware Smart Assurance programs.

You must configure communication settings for:

  • Each instance of Service Assurance Manager and IP Availability Manager in the environment
  • The Tomcat server in the Network Configuration Manager environment

Procedure

  1. Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf directory of the Service Assurance or IP Availability Manager whose communications you want to encrypt.
  2. Open the runcmd_env.sh script.
  3. Set the SM_INCOMING_PROTOCOL variable to SM_INCOMING_PROTOCOL=1,0
  4. Set the SM_OUTGOING_PROTOCOL variable to SM_OUTGOING_PROTOCOL=1,0
  5. Restart the VMware Smart Assurance services in order for the changes to take effect.
  6. Repeat this process for each instance of Service Assurance Manager and IP Availability Manager that requires encrypted communication.
