Network

Security

Using secure network protocols among all system components is recommended. The Nintex platform is regularly updated with the latest security fixes to ensure data safety and that privacy is not compromised.

Certificates are used to encrypt the transport protocol. The supported network protocols include HTTPS, TLS 1.3, and secured Net.TCP. Unattended robots do not support HTTP/HTTPS.

  • The certificate must be provided by customer

  • Unsecured network protocols are also supported (HTTP/Net.TCP)

Firewall & port configuration

Nintex port configuration and network protocols can be configured to support all common firewall requirements. Configuration on the network may be simplified for some customers by selecting Net.TCP as the default communication protocol. To do so, IT should open ports for the local LAN or external WAN Net.TCP communication protocol.

Nintex’s default port configuration is as follows (all can be customized in accordance with the organization’s security requirements):

  • Between unattended robots and RPA Server: 443

  • Protocol for robot instructions: Secured Net.TCP

  • Default network protocol is Net.TCP

  • For production environments, the recommended protocol is HTTPS SSL/TLS 1.3 or Secured Net.TCP
