    5914 - Fully compliant

    Fully compliant requirements:

    • Correct a typo in the configuration flag name.
    • Replace all instances of ssl_secure_skip_verify with ssl_insecure_skip_verify.
    • Ensure consistency in documentation for TLS configuration examples.

    Not compliant requirements:

    Possible Misleading Wording

    The description for ssl_insecure_skip_verify should emphasize the risks of using this flag in non-production environments more explicitly to avoid potential misuse.

    - `storage.ssl_insecure_skip_verify`: A flag that, when set to true, instructs the application not to verify the Redis server's TLS certificate. This is not recommended for production due to the risk of `man-in-the-middle` attacks.

    Clarify security risks of insecure flag

    Clarify in the documentation that setting ssl_insecure_skip_verify to true should
    only be used for testing or development purposes and explicitly state the potential
    security risks in more detail to ensure users understand the implications.

    tyk-docs/content/tyk-open-source.md [959]

    -- `storage.ssl_insecure_skip_verify`: A flag that, when set to true, instructs the application not to verify the Redis server's TLS certificate. This is not recommended for production due to the risk of `man-in-the-middle` attacks.
    +- `storage.ssl_insecure_skip_verify`: A flag that, when set to true, instructs the application not to verify the Redis server's TLS certificate. This should only be used for testing or development purposes as it exposes the connection to potential `man-in-the-middle` attacks, compromising data security.
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

    Why: The suggestion improves the documentation by explicitly clarifying that the ssl_insecure_skip_verify flag should only be used for testing or development purposes and elaborates on the security risks. This enhances user understanding and promotes secure practices.

    Highlight production risks of insecure flag

    Emphasize that ssl_insecure_skip_verify should never be used in production
    environments and provide a recommendation to always validate certificates in
    production for secure communication.

    tyk-docs/content/tyk-self-managed.md [4354]

    -- `storage.ssl_insecure_skip_verify`: A flag that, when set to true, instructs the application not to verify the Redis server's TLS certificate. This is not recommended for production due to the risk of `man-in-the-middle` attacks.

This should never be used in production environments as it exposes the connection to `man-in-the-middle` attacks. Always validate certificates in production for secure communication.
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

    Why: The suggestion emphasizes the critical importance of not using ssl_insecure_skip_verify in production and recommends validating certificates for secure communication. This addition strengthens the documentation by promoting best practices and mitigating security risks.
