About Federation Security

Federation security is available when using a WebSphere-based or WebLogic-basedSIMULIA Execution Engine and is ideal when the federated servers must cross firewalls or send information over the Internet.

With regard to the Federation feature, security means that the federated SIMULIA Execution Engines use an encrypted and mutually authenticated connection by use of X.509 digital certificates.

This guide assumes that the federated SIMULIA Execution Engines are configured to have a secure federation connection as shown in the figure below.
