# `tls` Stanza
<Placement groups={['tls']} />
The `tls` stanza configures Nomad's TLS communication via HTTP and RPC to
enforce secure cluster communication between servers, clients, and between.
```hcl
tls {
http = true
rpc = true
}
```
~> Incorrect configuration of the TLS configuration can result in failure to
start the Nomad agent.
This section of the documentation only covers the configuration options for
`tls` stanza. To understand how to setup the certificates themselves, please see
the [Encryption Overview Guide](https://learn.hashicorp.com/nomad/transport-security/gossip-encryption).
## `tls` Parameters
- `ca_file` `(string: "")` - Specifies the path to the CA certificate to use for
Nomad's TLS communication.
- `cert_file` `(string: "")` - Specifies the path to the certificate file used
for Nomad's TLS communication.
- `key_file` `(string: "")` - Specifies the path to the key file to use for
Nomad's TLS communication.
- `http` `(bool: false)` - Specifies if TLS should be enabled on the HTTP
endpoints on the Nomad agent, including the API.
- `rpc` `(bool: false)` - Specifies if TLS should be enabled on the RPC
endpoints and [Raft][raft] traffic between the Nomad servers. Enabling this on
a Nomad client makes the client use TLS for making RPC requests to the Nomad
servers.
- `rpc_upgrade_mode` `(bool: false)` - This option should be used only when the
cluster is being upgraded to TLS, and removed after the migration is
complete. This allows the agent to accept both TLS and plaintext traffic.
- `tls_cipher_suites` `string: "")` - Specifies the TLS cipher suites that will
be used by the agent as a comma-separated string. Known insecure ciphers are
disabled (3DES and RC4). By default, an agent is configured to use
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305,
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305,
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256.
- `tls_min_version` `(string: "tls12")`- Specifies the minimum supported version
of TLS. Accepted values are "tls10", "tls11", "tls12".
- `tls_prefer_server_cipher_suites` `(bool: false)` - Specifies whether
TLS connections should prefer the server's ciphersuites over the client's.
- `verify_https_client` `(bool: false)` - Specifies agents should require
client certificates for all incoming HTTPS requests. The client certificates
must be signed by the same CA as Nomad.
- `verify_server_hostname` `(bool: false)` - Specifies if outgoing TLS
connections should verify the server's hostname.
## `tls` Examples
The following examples only show the `tls` stanzas. Remember that the
`tls` stanza is only valid in the placements listed above.
### Enabling TLS
This example shows enabling TLS configuration. This enables TLS communication
between all servers and clients using the default system CA bundle and
certificates.
```hcl
tls {
http = true
rpc = true
ca_file = "/etc/certs/ca.crt"
cert_file = "/etc/certs/nomad.crt"
key_file = "/etc/certs/nomad.key"
}
```
