Veritas Data Insight secures communication between Data Insight Servers using mutual TLS, all traffic between servers is encrypted and authenticated using public/private certificates generated by Data Insight during configuration.
When Data Insight components are all installed on a single node (also called a ‘Single Tier’ installation), there is no internode communication but the commd service is still secured by mutual TLS, so it cannot be accessed externally.
During Data Insight Management server configuration, a PKI certificate is generated for the Management Server. During Worker node configuration, the certificate is distributed and subsequently used to negotiate authentication from the Worker Node to the Management Server node. All this traffic is also encrypted using TLS.
