The StorageGRID Webscale system uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to protect internal control traffic between grid nodes. The Network Transfer Encryption option sets the algorithm used by TLS to encrypt control traffic between grid nodes. This setting does not affect data encryption.
Before you begin
- You must be signed in to the Grid Management Interface using a supported browser.
- To perform this task, you need specific access permissions. For details, see information about controlling system access with administration user accounts and groups.
About this task
By default, network transfer encryption uses the AES256-SHA algorithm. Control traffic can also be encrypted using the AES128-SHA algorithm.
Steps
- Select .
- From the Grid Options menu, select Configuration.
- Change Network Transfer Encryption to AES256-SHA or AES128-SHA.
- Click Apply Changes.
