# TLS

By default, the Agent does not provide TLS termination but can be enabled via a configuration option. TLS termination is recommended for enhanced security and a prerequisite for integrating with SSO (Single Sign On) via SAML2.0.

TLS termination can be configured directly within Agent or by using a TLS proxy or load balancer.

## Global Truststore

To use a non-default global truststore, set the path in accordingly with the **LENSES\_OPTS** variable.

```
LENSES_OPTS=-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/truststore
```

## Custom Truststore

{% code title="lenses.conf" %}

```properties
lenses.ssl.truststore.location = "/path/to/truststore.jks"
lenses.ssl.truststore.password = "changeit"
```

{% endcode %}

## Mutual TLS

To enable mutual TLS, set your keystore accordingly.

{% code title="lenses.conf" %}

```properties
# To secure and encrypt all HTTPS connections to Lenses via TLS termination.
# Java Keystore location and passwords
lenses.ssl.client.auth = true
lenses.ssl.keystore.location = "/path/to/keystore.jks"
lenses.ssl.keystore.password = "changeit"
lenses.ssl.key.password      = "changeit"


# You can also tweak the TLS version, algorithm and ciphers
#lenses.ssl.enabled.protocols = "TLSv1.2"
#lenses.ssl.cipher.suites     = "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_RSA_WIT
```

{% endcode %}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lenses.io/latest/deployment/configuration/agent/enable-tls-on-lenses.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
