Configure Secure Communication

Machines that are connected to, or configured as, a System Management Server (SMS) can be configured to a more secure communication system for our distributed environment.

gRPC is automatically enabled when you select Configure. This causes all GR operations, including deploy/undeploy and start/stop to be executed over a secure channel, thus further enhancing the security. With this setting enabled, communications use the more secure gRPC protocol instead of DCOM. gRPC should always remain enabled.

Note: Anytime the SMS configuration is changed, you must reconfigure the gRPC plugin.

Configure Secure Communication

1. On the left navigation pane, expand AVEVA System Platform, and select Secure Communication.

   

2. If necessary, modify the gRPC port.

3. Select Configure to automatically enable gRPC for Application Server.
