In no event, shall the Cloud Service be used for processing PHI as a healthcare clearinghouse within the meaning of HIPAA.

If a system failure occurs, a third-party service provider might request debugging artifacts from the client (logs, core memory dumps). It is the client’s sole responsibility to gather and transmit these artifacts to the third-party provider. The IBM support team might assist by providing links to documentation or providing direction through screen sharing sessions. However, the client is responsible for cleansing the data of any PHI and ensuring that it is properly encrypted before it is transmitted. It is also the client’s responsibility to evaluate whether they require a BAA to be executed with the third-party provider before data is sent.







 Personal information and regulated data 

This Cloud Service is not designed to any specific security requirements for regulated content, such as personal information or sensitive personal information. Client is responsible to determine whether this Cloud Service meets Clients needs regarding the type of content Client uses in connection with the Cloud Service.

Connecting to IBM Cloud HSM 

The following steps outline how to connect the Hardware Security Module (HSM) VPN to your customer account. You can also connect from a server on your account that has connectivity to the private VLAN on which the HSM is provisioned.

![Architecture of a network with the HSM](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs-content/v1/content/ee0b28c7b82c36038bad27a698a35636e96fb97f/hardware-security-modules//images/Connecting_to_HSM-01.png)



1. Log in to your HSM by using the user ID and password that is provided on Device Details through your VPN or to a server that is on the same private VLAN. The following command is an example. The IP address that you use might differ. ssh hsm_admin@10.1.1.101
2. Change the HSM customer_admin password: user password
3. Enable public key infrastructure (PKI)-based authentication:

ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
6e:7a:73:e1:2a:54:8f:99:3e:6a:56:f8:38:22:fb:a6 root@host

Two files are created. The first is a private key file, which stays on the connecting host, and a public key file that is sent to the HSM appliance.

 Overview
Connecting an external application to your PostgreSQL deployment 

Your applications and drivers use connection strings to make a connection to IBM Cloud® Databases for PostgreSQL. The service provides connection strings specifically for drivers and applications. Connection strings are displayed in the Endpoints panel of your deployment's Overview, and can also be retrieved from the [cloud databases CLI plug-in](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/databases-cli-plugin?topic=databases-cli-plugin-cdb-referencedeployment-connections), and the [API](https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/cloud-databases-apidiscover-connection-information-for-a-deployment-f-e81026).

The connection strings can be used by any of the credentials you create on your deployment. While you can use the admin user for all of your connections and applications, it might be better to create users specifically for your applications to connect with. Documentation on generating credentials is on the [Creating Users and Getting Connection Strings](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/databases-for-postgresql?topic=databases-for-postgresql-connection-strings) page.



 Connecting to your PostgreSQL deployment with a language's driver 

All the information a driver needs to make a connection to your deployment is in the "postgres" section of your connection strings. The table contains a breakdown for reference.



Table 1. postgres/URI connection information

 Field Name Index Description 

 Type Type of connection - for PostgreSQL, it is "URI" 
 Scheme Scheme for a URI - for PostgreSQL, it is "postgresql" 
 Path Path for a URI - for PostgreSQL, it is the database name. The default is ibmclouddb. 
 Authentication Username The username that you use to connect. 
 Authentication Password A password for the user - might be shown as $PASSWORD 
 Authentication Method How authentication takes place; "direct" authentication is handled by the driver. 
 Hosts 0... A hostname and port to connect to
To install the Cloud Databases plug-in, see [Connecting with psql documentation here](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/databases-for-postgresql?topic=databases-for-postgresql-connecting-psql).





 Step 3: Connect with pgAdmin 

pgAdmin runs as a server and you connect to it through a browser. When the server is started, it runs on localhost, at default http://127.0.0.1:53113/browser/.

When you first open pgAdmin, you get a prompt for setting a primary password. This password is different from your deployment's password as it is used specifically for pgAdmin to store passwords to your PostgreSQL servers or PostgreSQL deployments.

The Dashboard panel has a Welcome screen. From the Quick Links, click Add New Server.

On your deployment's Overview page, there is an Endpoints panel with all the relevant connection information.

Back in pgAdmin, provide pgAdmin with the information it needs to connect to your deployment.

First, complete the Connection information,



* For Host name/address, use the Hostname of your deployment.
* For the Port, use the Port of your deployment.
* The Maintenance database remains postgres.
* For Username and Password, use the admin credentials that you set after provisioning your deployment. You can choose for pgAdmin to save the password.
* The Role and Service fields can be left empty.



Then, configure the SSL settings.



* Copy the certificate information from the [Endpoints panel](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/databases-for-postgresql?topic=databases-for-postgresql-connection-strings) in your deployment's Dashboard overview page.
* Save the certificate to a file. (You can use the name that is provided in the download, or your own file name.)
* Set the SSL mode field to Verify-Full.
* In the Root certificate field, select the file where you saved your deployment's certificate.
Veeam is deployed to the management regions in both availability zones (AZ) for use in an MZR.







 Gateway cluster 

The gateway cluster does not use any vSphere resiliency features and backup of the gateway VMs is not performed. The gateway appliances deliver resilience at the application layer through formation of a high-availability cluster at the time of deployment. When you are using the vSRX, it is recommended that the rescue configuration is set anytime a change is made to the running configuration. To update it, in operational mode, run request system configuration rescue save. The use of an SCP server to automatically back up the configuration anytime changes are made is optional and left to the client to implement.

vSRX config archive on commit

system {
archival {
configuration {
transfer-on-commit;
archive-sites {
scp://username@host:<port>url-path password password;
}
}
}
}

[edit system archival configuration]
archive-sites {
ftp://username@host:<port>url-path password password;
scp://username@host:<port>url-path password password;
file://<path>/<filename>;
http://username@host: url-path password password;
}

 Workload cluster 

Business continuity at the workload layers is the responsibility of the SaaS provider to design, implement, and maintain.

Veeam backup server is the recommended solution.
