Enabling and disabling encryption for communication among search nodes

Enabling encryption for communication among search nodes prevents unauthorized access to the data that is transported across search nodes. You can enable and disable search encryption from the Search landing page.

You must have the pxAccessSearchLP privilege to access the Search landing page.

When you enable or disable encryption, all nodes in the cluster are reinitialized, which might take some time.

Note: Enabling encryption can impact system performance.
  1. Click Designer Studio > System > Settings > Search.
  2. Expand the Security settings section.
  3. Select or clear Encrypt search inter-node communication.
