About Samsung Cloud Connector (SCC)

Samsung Cloud Connector (SCC) creates a secure channel for data transfers from your existing enterprise active directory (AD) and certificate authority (CA) servers.

SCC is configured as follows:

Component Description
Knox Manage server Knox Manage is hosted in the cloud. The term Knox Manage server denotes the service's cloud infrastructure.
Connector The Knox Manage server has an integrated connector accessible through the Knox Manage console that connects to the enterprise's AD/LDAP and CA servers. In order to join them together, an enterprise must install the SCC client.
SCC
  • SCC provides a secure channel between the client's enterprise system and the Knox Manage server.
  • SCC consists of the SCC client, the SCC server, and Control Service Server.
  • The SCC client is installed at the client's site and establishes a secure Transport Layer Security (TLS) channel with the SCC server.
  • The SCC server is installed in the cloud. It sends the requests from the Knox Manage server to the SCC client, and delivers the responses from the SCC client to the Knox Manage server.
  • The SCC Control Service server assigns a port number to be used for AD/LDAP and CA service.

L4 Switch

The L4 switch scales the requests from the SCC client.
Database The database, or DB as it's represented in the infographic below, saves the information of the LDAP, the CA service of the tenant, and the IP/Port information of the SCC server.

Minimum system requirements

Before installing SCC, you must have the following prerequisites in your network, server, and Knox Manage tenant.

If there is a web proxy between the SCC client and the SCC server connection, the connector won’t function.

License

Set up your Knox Manage tenant and register your license.

OS requirements

SCC requires one of the following operating systems:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2019 (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2022 (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Windows 2025 (64 bit)

JDK requirements

SCC requires the Java Development Kit (JDK) in the following configuration:

  • JDK 1.8.0 (64-bit)
  • Patch the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) module based on the JDK version. For more information, see Install Java patches.

The below JDK versions are recommended for the SCC client.

Ensure you only use SCC client versions 2.5.2.1c or higher. You can check the version from the installer file name.

OpenJDK distribution Tested versions
Oracle OpenJDK 1.8.0_2511.8.0_2911.8.0_3111.8.0_3411.8.0_3521.8.0_451 (recommended for SCC client 2.5.2.1 or higher)
Azul Zulu Prime 1.8.0_2521.8.0_2921.8.0_3121.8.0_3451.8.0_3521.8.0_452

Firewall exceptions

  • The firewall between the SCC client and the LDAP server must be open.
  • The firewall between the SCC client and the CA server must be open.
  • The firewall between the L4 switch for accessing the SCC server and the SCC client must be open. Refer to the following list for the firewall information of L4 domains according to the service regions.

If your region code is between 02 and 07, then you must include the region code after the area name (ap, us, eu) of the firewall domain. You can find your region code by:

  • Switching to the original console and checking the URL of your Knox Manage console.
  • Review the region code in the file name of the SCC client file you downloaded. For example, SCC_EU03.

Your region code can be found in the URL of your Knox Manage console session.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) communication resources

The SCC server and SCC client are connected through Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) communication. To enhance the TCP performance of the SCC client, you must change the registry value.

To change the registry value:

  1. On your computer, open the Registry Editor.
  2. Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters.
  3. Change the value of each of the following items. If the value does not exist, right-click anywhere on the screen, and then select New > DWORD (32- bit) Value to create a new one.
    • TcpTimedWaitDelay — Change the default value from 240 (4 minutes) to 30 (30 seconds). For more information, see https://technet.microsoft.com/enus/library/cc938217.aspx.
    • MaxUserPort — Change the default value from 5000 to the maximum value of 65534 to increase the number of concurrent requests delivered to SCC from the application. For more information, see MaxUserPort in the Microsoft docs.

Open source license information

To check open source license information for SCC, rrefer to the following file in the SCC client installation folder.

{SCC installation location}\scc-client\resources\SCCClient-OpenSourceLicense.xml

Secret token

You can enter a secret token while installing the SCC client to help authorize it. To copy the secret token:

  1. Click your account icon in the top-right of the console. Then click Settings.
  2. Go to Knox Manage > General settings, then click the Cloud connector tab.
  3. Under Secret token, click COPY TOKEN.
