# Local Tuxedo Access Points --> Security

Tasks Related Topics Attributes

## Overview

Domain gateways can authenticate incoming connections requested by remote Tuxedo access points and outgoing connections requested by local Tuxedo access points. You define when security should be enforced for incoming connections from remote Tuxedo access points. Specify the level of security used by a particular local Tuxedo access point by setting the `SECURITY` attribute.

Data encryption can be used to prevent network-based eavesdroppers from accessing the content of messages or application-generated messages flowing from local Tuxedo access points to remote Tuxedo access points. Configure this security mechanism by setting the `MINENCRYPTBITS` and `MAXENCRYPTBITS` attributes.

## Attributes

Table 424-1

Attribute Label | Description | Value Constraints
--- | --- | ---
Security | The type of application security enforced. NONE: No security is used. APP_PW: Password security is enforced when a connection is established from a remote Tuxedo access point. The application password is defined in WTC Resources. DM_PW: Domain password security is enforced when a connection is established from a remote Tuxedo access point. The domain password is defined in WTC Passwords. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WTCLocalTuxDomMBean` Attribute: `Security` | Default: "NONE" Valid values: "NONE" "APP_PW" "DM_PW"
Min Encryption Level | The minimum encryption key length (in bits) used when establishing a network connection for a local domain. A value of 0 indicates no encryption is used. The value of the MinEncrypBits attribute must be less than or equal to the value of the MaxEncrypBits attribute. A MinEncrypBits of 40 can be used only with domains running Tuxedo 7.1 or higher. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WTCLocalTuxDomMBean` Attribute: `MinEncryptBits` | Default: "0" Valid values: "0" "40" "56" "128"
Max Encryption Level | The maximum encryption key length (in bits) used when establishing a network connection for a local domain. A value of 0 indicates no encryption is used. The value of the MaxEncryptBits attribute must be greater than or equal to the value of the MinEncrypBits attribute. A MaxEncryptBits of 40 can be used only with domains running Tuxedo 7.1 or higher. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WTCLocalTuxDomMBean` Attribute: `MaxEncryptBits` | Default: "128" Valid values: "0" "40" "56" "128"
