TLS

The SEAL NATS server can use TLS semantics to encrypt client, route, and monitoring connections. To enable TLS encryption follow these steps:

1. Open the %ProgramData%\SEAL Systems\config\nats.conf configuration file.

2. Uncomment the following section:

   # # TLS configuration
   # tls: {
   #   cert_file: "./cert.pem"
   #   key_file: "./key.pem"
   # }
   

3. Insert the paths to certificate and key files.

   Example - Securing with TLS

   # TLS configuration
   tls: {
       cert_file: "./my_cert.pem"
       key_file: "./my_key.pem"
   }
   

4. Save the file.

5. In a PowerShell (Administrator), restart the service:

   Restart-Service seal-nats

Token Authentication

Client connections can also get secured by token authentication. To use this method follow these steps:

1. Open the %ProgramData%\SEAL Systems\config\nats.conf configuration file.

2. Uncomment the following section:

   # Secure connection with token
   authorization {
       token: "unsecure_token"
   }
   

3. Provide a secure token.

   Example - Authorization

   # Secure connection with token
   authorization {
       token: "G!(<TyIxhB.r^/yLYj;d)+c@g;!9vFn"
   }
   

4. Save the file.

5. In a PowerShell (Administrator), restart the service:

   Restart-Service seal-nats
