Configuring RTI Secure WAN Transport

The Secure WAN Transport package includes two transports:

• The WAN Transport is for use on a WAN and includes security.1Security is disabled by default. It must be used with the WAN Server, a separate application that provides additional services needed for Connext DDS applications to communicate with each other over a WAN.
• The Secure Transport is an alternate transport that provides security on an untrusted LAN. Use of the RTI WAN Server is not required.

There are two ways in which these transports can be configured:

• By setting up predefined strings in the Property QoS Policy of the DomainParticipant (on UNIX, Solaris and Windows systems only). This process is described in Setting Up a Transport with the Property QoS.
• By instantiating a new transport (Explicitly Instantiating a WAN or Secure Transport Plugin) and then registering it with the DomainParticipant, see Installing Additional Builtin Transport Plugins with register_transport() (not available in Java API).

Refer to the API Reference HTML documentation for details on these two approaches.
