CONNECT ( connection-parms )
|
Parameter
|
Description
|
-H socket-address
|
Optional. The host name or IP address to which the connection is to be established.
|
-S socket-port
|
The port number for the socket connection. You can specify either an explicit port number or a TCP service name. If you use a TCP service name, the method uses the port number associated with that name in the TCP/IP services file.
|
-ssl
|
If specified, the connection to the server socket uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) tunneling.
(Used in conjunction with the -H and -S parameters.)
Note: Be sure you need SSL before using this option. SSL incurs more or less heavy performance penalties, depending on resources and load.
|
-nosessionreuse
|
If specified, the connection does not reuse the SSL session ID when reconnecting to the same SSL-enabled server socket.
Note: OpenEdge SSL turns on SSL session reuse by default. So, after the initial connection to a given host (-H) and port (-S), each subsequent connection to the same host and port restarts the SSL session and ignores any different connection parameters that are specified for the subsequent connection, including -nosessionreuse. If you want to change SSL socket options (such as -nohostverify) for each subsequent connection to a given host and port, be sure to specify the -nosessionreuse parameter on the initial SSL socket connection to that same host and port.
|
-nohostverify
|
If specified, turns off host verification for an SSL-enabled connection to a server socket. Without this parameter specified, the client compares the host name specified in the connection with the Common Name specified in the server certificate, and raises an error if they do not match. With this parameter specified, the client never raises the error. For more information, see OpenEdge® Getting Started: Core Business Services - Security and Auditing.
|
-pf filename
|
Optional. A text file containing any of the socket connection parameters described in this table. If this file contains any other OpenEdge startup parameters, this method ignores them.
