The recommended method for application-authentication when connecting to Couchbase Server is to use x.509 _certificate-based_ authentication.
This ensures that only approved users, machines, or endpoints are authenticated, and provides what is known as _mutual authentication_.

_Mutual-TLS_ (mTLS) certificate-based authentication relies on a _Certificate Authority_ (CA) to validate identities and issue certificates.
Mutual-TLS (mTLS) certificate-based authentication relies on a _Certificate Authority_ (CA) to validate identities and issue certificates.
When using this method, no sensitive credentials are shared over the network; and all communication between application and server is performed over an _encrypted channel_, to prevent eavesdropping and impersonation.

For a complete overview of Couchbase Server’s certificate-handling mechanisms, see xref:learn:security/certificates.adoc[Certificates].
