- Adapters
When determining adapter security practices, consider the following:
-
To keep the adapter secure, only administrators should have access to machines where the adapter is installed.
-
REST APIs are bound to localhost, meaning only requests coming from within the machine will be accepted.
-
Depending on the data endpoint you decide to use and your company's security policies, you will have the option to choose from several authentication methods. For details, refer to Configure data endpoints.
-
The DNP3 Adapter supports TLS encryption on a per-channel basis. It is recommended to enable the latest version wherever possible to ensure data privacy. For additional details, see TCPChannel parameters.
