Auto-TLS Requirements and Limitations

Reference information for Auto-TLS requirements, limitations, and component support.

Requirements

  • You must install the Cloudera Manager Agent software on the Cloudera Manager Server host.
  • You can enable auto-TLS using certificates created and managed by a Cloudera Manager certificate authority (CA), or certificates signed by a trusted public CA or your own internal CA. If you want to use a trusted public CA or your own internal CA, you must obtain all of the host certificates before enabling auto-TLS. For instructions on obtaining certificates from a CA, see Manually Configuring TLS Encryption for Cloudera Manager>On Each Cluster Host.
