Hi All, We use apache tribes for inter node communication via multicast. For securing inter node communication two things are required:
1. Establishing the identity of a node as valid who is sending the message 2. Encrypting selective messages which are sensitive in nature. This topic was raised some time back ( http://tomcat.10.n6.nabble.com/Securing-Tomcat-cluster-communication-td1973779.html ) It is recommended that encryption/decryption of messages be done using a custom interceptor or using a stunnel, the former approach being the preferred approach. It has also being mentioned that the option SEND_OPTIONS_SECURE has not been implemented. This was in 2011, how its 2012 - Has this been implemented now? What do you suggest is the best way using tribes to sign messages - via another interceptor or by just using the secret keyword as per http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html best regards, madhav -- When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do
