Securing connections for Talend Dictionary Service

To secure connections between Talend Dictionary Service, the MongoDB server and Apache Kafka, proceed as follows:

  1. Open the <Tomcat>/conf/data-quality.properties file.

  2. To secure connections with MongoDB, edit the following lines:

    dq.mongo.ssl=true
dq.mongo.ssl.trust-store=<path_to_truststore>
dq.mongo.ssl.trust-store-password=<truststore_password>

  3. To secure connections with Kafka using communication encryption only, edit the following lines:

    spring.cloud.stream.kafka.binder.configuration.security.protocol=SSL
spring.cloud.stream.kafka.binder.configuration.ssl.truststore.location=<path_to_truststore>
spring.cloud.stream.kafka.binder.configuration.ssl.truststore.password=<truststore_password>

  4. To secure connections with Kafka using authentication, edit the following lines:

    spring.cloud.stream.kafka.binder.configuration.ssl.keystore.location=<path_to_keystore>
spring.cloud.stream.kafka.binder.configuration.ssl.keystore.password=<keystore_password>
spring.cloud.stream.kafka.binder.configuration.ssl.key.password=<key_password>

    Note that the communication encryption parameters must also be defined to use authentication.
