Translation Manager security
By default, Translation Manager is installed without security. While this may be acceptable in a development environment, in a production environment, RWS strongly recommends that you implement security measures.
- Configuring the Translation Manager database for integrated authentication
If you have set up integrated authentication to the Translation Manager SQL Server database while installing or configuring Content Manager, you can complete your integrated authentication by configuring the database server itself. You can skip this task if your have already configured integrated authentication for the Content Manager database, and if your Translation Manager database and Content Manager database share the same database server. - Configuring Translation Manager Service user account
The<ServiceTcmUserName>element in the TranslationManager.xml file specifies the Tridion Sites account that the Translation Manager Service uses to access the Content Manager. - Setting user rights for Translation Manager
Translation Manager uses Content Manager security to set user rights to users, or user groups, to allow them to perform tasks relating to translation. You can set Translation Management rights to allow users to send content for translation, and Translation Configuration rights to allow users to configure Publications, Folders, Structure Groups, and Categories for translation. - Encrypting sensitive strings for Translation Manager
TheTranslationManager.xmlis the Translation Manager configuration file. You can encrypt passwords in theTranslationManager.xmlconfiguration file using the encryption tool delivered with Translation Manager. - Connecting to the translation management system using HTTPS
To connect to the translation management system using HTTPS (SSL), configure the<TmsServer>element in theTranslationManager.xmlfile and install a security certificate on each machine where the Translation Manager Service is installed. - Connecting to the Content Manager using HTTPS
If your Translation Manager Service uses HTTPS, perform some additional configuration in the Translation Manager web.config file.
