In order to enable gCube security, gHNs must be properly configured. As described in the GCube Security Model, in a secure infrastructure invocations to gCube Running Instances are authenticated and authorised. The security configuration of gHNs basically enables authentication and authorisation functionalities that are used when a request is received by a Running Instance deployed in a gHN.

The description of administrative steps needed to enable security for gHN containers is available in the Configure container security section of the gCore administrator's guide.
