Another way of securing the application is to use SSL Offloading. Basically we delegate the functions required for SSL/TLS, namely the handshake and the encryption/decryption to a dedicated component in front of the user. So all the servers behind the reverse proxy communicate as usual.
More precisely it is called SSL Termination in this case :
The proxy server/load balancer we use for the SSL offloading acts as the SSL terminator. When a client attempts to connect to Datafari, the client still has a secure connection with the SSL terminator, which is acting as a pass-through.
The Datafari architecture is like this for monoserver and multiservers :
