SECURING
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a security protocol that provides communications privacy and authentication for Domino® server tasks that operate over TCP/IP. You can require users to access a database using a secure TLS connection. You can also choose to require an TLS connection to a single database or to all databases on a server.
About this task
If the server is not configured to require an TLS connection, clients will be able to use either TLS or unsecured TCP/IP to connect to the server; for example, in a browser, by using HTTP (for non-TLS) or HTTPS (for TLS).
