Basic steps to ensure Alfresco is secure?

[toni]

I am pretty new to Tomcat and starting to learn it because Alfresco seems be the application we would like to use.
Can anyone points or is there documentation for basic steps need to secure Alfresco while I am in the state of learning?

For:
Alfresco
mySQL
Tomcat

Thanks,
Toni

Hi,

See here for how to configure the MySQL connector to use SSL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/cj-using-ssl.html

For Tomcat, if you look in the file 'server.xml' you will see instructions on how to enable SSL.

With these two set up all traffic from MySQL through to Tomcat to your web browser and back again will be SSL encrypted.

Is this the sort of information you were after?
