Configure TLS Connections in App Volumes Manager

You can modify the Nginx configuration file to ensure that App Volumes Manager accepts connections only from specified TLS versions.

App Volumes Manager uses SSL and TLS to communicate with servers and App Volumes agents. See Using SSL Certificates with App Volumes Manager.

Prerequisites

• You must have administrator privileges on the machine where App Volumes Manager is installed.
• Locate the nginx.conf file and create a backup of the file. The default location for nginx.conf is C:\Program Files (x86)\CloudVolumes\Manager\nginx\conf\.

Procedure

1. Log in to the machine where App Volumes Manager is installed.

2. Identify the ssl_protocols entry in the nginx.conf file and specify the TLS versions for App Volumes Manager connections.

3. Restart the App Volumes Manager service.

Example: Configure TLS Protocol

TLS v1.2 is specified in the ssl_protocols entry in the Nginx configuration file. App Volumes Manager accepts connections from App Volumes agent using TLS v1.2.
