Essbase supports the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for all client-to-server and server-to-server communication. SSL allows Essbase to communicate unilaterally across a network with Essbase clients, including Provider Services, Administration Services, and Oracle Essbase Studio, while preventing eavesdropping and tampering. End-point authentication and communications occur confidentiality over the Internet using CipherSuite cryptography.
