Abstract

A system for automatic setting of system security comprises an input interface and a processor. The input interface is configured to receive an indication to set a secure mode. The processor is configured to: determine whether the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode; in the event that the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode: 1) detect one or more connected systems for which to set the certificate mode; 2) select one or more certificates for the certificate mode; 3) update initialization files for the certificate mode; and 4) reinitialize local and one or more connected systems.

Claims (44)

1. A system for automatic setting of system security, comprising:

an input interface configured to receive an indication to set a secure mode; and

a processor configured to:

determine whether the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode;

in the event that the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode:

detect one or more connected systems for which to set the certificate mode;

determine whether one or more certificates have been received for the one or more connected systems;

select a set of certificates from the one or more certificates for the certificate mode;

update initialization files for the certificate mode; and

reinitialize local and one or more connected systems.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the one or more connected systems comprise docbrokers.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the one or more connected systems comprise content servers.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein selecting one or more certificates comprises receiving one or more of the one or more certificates.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein selecting one or more certificates comprises generating one or more of the one or more certificates.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to create a trust store.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to create a key store.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in the event that the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to not set a certificate mode:

detect one or more connected systems for which to set the anonymous mode;

update initialization files for the anonymous mode; and

reinitialize local and one or more connected systems.

9. A method for automatic setting of system security, comprising:

receiving an indication to set a secure mode;

determining, using a processor, whether the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode;

in the event that the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode:

detecting one or more connected systems for which to set the certificate mode;

determining whether one or more certificates have been received for the one or more connected systems;

selecting a set of certificates from the one or more certificates for the certificate mode;

updating initialization files for the certificate mode; and

reinitializing local and one or more connected systems.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein one or more of the one or more connected systems comprise docbrokers.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein one or more of the one or more connected systems comprise content servers.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein selecting the one or more certificates comprises receiving one or more of the one or more certificates.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein selecting one or more certificates comprises generating one or more of the one or more certificates.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising creating a trust store.

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising creating a key store.

16. A computer program product for automatic setting of system security, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving an indication to set a secure mode;

determining whether the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode;

in the event that the indication to set the secure mode comprises an indication to set a certificate mode:

detecting one or more connected systems for which to set the certificate mode;

determining whether one or more certificates have been received for the one or more connected systems;

selecting a set of certificates from the one or more certificates for the certificate mode;

updating initialization files for the certificate mode; and

reinitializing local and one or more connected systems.
