Configure the com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_hostname property to prevent man-in-the-middle-attacks by ensuring that the certification verification process is executed.
When the Glide Property
com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_hostname is not set to the
secure value of true, the hostname and certificate chain presented by remote hosts during a
TLS connection initiated from the ServiceNow instance are not validated. This could
compromise the security of the TLS connection and allow person-in-the-middle attacks, where
communications between two parties are intercepted. This may lead to sensitive data
disclosure.

| Attribute | Description |
|-|-|
| Configuration name | com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_hostname |
| Configuration type | System Properties (/sys_properties_list.do) |
| Data type | Boolean |
| Recommended value | true |
| Default value | false |
| Category | [Communications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/KYWXOfqNUW0uNGo3zippJA "This control ensures proper encryption using strong algorithms and ciphers. This includes ensuring the recommended version of TLS is used for client connectivity, use of strong cipher suites, use of trusted and signed certificates, ensuring connections are encrypted between components and logging of connection failures.") |
| Security risk | * Severity score: High * CVSS score: 7.4 * Security risk details: Not setting com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_hostname to the recommended value of true could make your instance vulnerable to man-in-the-middle-attacks. {#sc-verify-certificate-chain-and-hostname__ul_ihv_dvg_1xb} |
| Dependencies and prerequisites | None |
| Functional impact | Verifies hostname and certificate chain presented by remote secure socket layer (SSL) hosts. Set this property to true to secure against Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Hinweis: This property overrides the com.glide.communications.trustmanager_trust_all, property. |
