AppServer Internet Adapter configuration and administration
With the AppServer Internet Adapter (AIA) you can make AppServer or SonicMQ Adapter application services available over the Web to ABL applications, and you can make AppServer application services available over the Web to .NET and Java Open Clients. The AIA is a Java Servlet that is invoked by a Java Servlet Engine (JSE).
When you use the URL syntax for one of the following connection protocols to connect standard ABL clients (including AppServer and WebSpeed agents, and WebClients) or .NET and Java Open Clients to an AppServer, or to connect standard ABL clients to a SonicMQ Adapter:
HTTP — Directs the client to connect through an AIA instance using an unsecured Internet connection to the Web server that hosts the AIA
HTTPS — Directs the client to connect through an AIA instance using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Internet connection to the Web server that hosts the AIA
Note: You can also use the AppServer protocol to allow a client to connect directly to an AppServer or a SonicMQ Adapter using the TCP/IP protocol with or without SSL tunneling. This is the preferred option for client access over an intranet.
However, if you want to use a secure Internet connection to the Web server and also secure the connection between the AIA and the AppServer (or SonicMQ Adapter), you can configure the AIA to use SSL for its own connection to the AppServer (or SonicMQ Adapter).
HTTP — Directs the client to connect through an AIA instance using an unsecured Internet connection to the Web server that hosts the AIA
