Encryption and authentication A Service Broker scenario includes the following components: • One or more Service Broker clients. • One or more Service Brokers. • One or more service providing StreamServers. These components can be configured as SSL clients and SSL servers that use encryption and authentication for communication over HTTPS channels. This section describes the interfaces involved, the different types of security configurations that can be defined in a Service Broker scenario, and how to configure the security settings for the different components. How to create security configurations, and how to handle SSL for the StreamServer in general, is described in the Encryption and authentication documentation.
