No special setup is required if you use the default Teradata authentication.
Additional setup of TDGSS configuration files may be required on Analytics Database nodes, and Business Continuity Manager, depending on the features you implement.
TDGSS Channel Binding
TDGSS channel binding enables binding TDGSS authentication mechanisms to secure channels at lower network layers for those mechanisms that support channel binding, such as the PROXY mechanism. Channel binding verifies the endpoints of the lower level network layers to eliminate man-in-the-middle attacks. In the case of the PROXY mechanism, channel binding also makes it more difficult to use stolen certificates to pretend to be a legitimate endpoint. For increased security between Business Continuity Manager and the gateway, enable channel bindings on the managed Vantage servers. Use Gateway Control to enable channel binding:
gtwcontrol -j yes
The domain component (DC) of a Business Continuity Manager certificate for the PROXY mechanism must contain the name of the machine where Business Continuity Manager runs, but the name is not validated by default. Use channel bindings to validate and enforce that one of the IP addresses for the host name matches the IP address of the peer.
