Use Mutual TLS (mTLS) to Authenticate to StreamNative Cloud

Note

mTLS authentication is currently in Private Preview and is only available for BYOC Pro clusters using the MQTT protocol. If you are interested in this feature, please join our Early Access Program.

You can use mutual TLS (mTLS) for X.509 client certificate authentication and granular access control to BYOC Pro clusters.

Key benefits

Two-way authentication: Both the client and server must verify each other's identity using X.509 certificates, providing stronger security than one-way TLS.
Certificate-based access: Access to StreamNative Cloud resources requires valid X.509 certificates, making unauthorized access more difficult.
Secure data transmission: TLS encryption protects data in transit from tampering and interception.
Fine-grained control: Manage access at a granular level by issuing certificates to specific clients and applications.
Regulatory compliance: Meet industry security standards and compliance requirements with strong authentication.
Alternative to passwords: Reduce security risks by using certificates instead of traditional username/password authentication.
