No Host Verify (-nohostverify) (for STS capability)

Use No Host Verify (-nohostverify) to turn off host verification for a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection to a database server or to the OpenEdge Authentication Gateway server.

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.

While your database connection may or may not be running with SSL enabled for communication to its remote clients, the communication to the OpenEdge Authentication Gateway server is always run with SSL enabled.

If the database is running with SSL enabled, No Host Verify (-nohostverify) is set the same for both the OpenEdge Server SSL communication as well as for the OpenEdge Authentication Gateway server communication.
