OT: questions on SSL certs for server to server communications, where to install & penetration testing them

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



a vendor is setting up on-prem internal servers for us:
vendor told us he needs SSL certs for the 5 servers (there's 5 URLs
given) not for users to access but for server to server communications

Q1:
Shall we use self-signed certs in this case & usually for how long
these certs should be valid (every 1-3 yearly or permanently)?

Q2:
Should these servers sit behind the WAF (or suppose these 5 URLs are
not for users access but server to server communications) or in front
of the WAF?

Q3:
If they sit behind the WAF, shd the self-signed certs be installed in
the WAF or in the servers?  If they sit in front of WAF, certainly the
certs have to be installed in the servers

Q4:
For penetration tests, we should test the 5 URLs (vendor said they're
for server to server comms), through the WAF or position the
penetration scanners directly on the servers without going through
WAF?
