The Security tab in the Progress OpenEdge AppServer, Progress OpenEdge WebSpeed, and Progress Application Server for OpenEdge sections of the Configurations wizard allows you to specify security parameters for the AppServer and WebSpeed instances used by the launch configuration. See Progress OpenEdge AppServer and WebSpeed settings for information about accessing the wizard.
You can use the Security tab to secure client connection properties. The following controls are available on the tab:
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Name (accessible from all tabs) | (Required) Specifies the name of the launch configuration, which appears on menus and in the left pane of the Configurations wizard. |
| Enable SSL client connections | (Optional) Specifies that all connections to the broker must use
SSL tunneling. An SSL client encrypts data using a private key or a digital certificate, thereby making sure that both the debug client and the broker can authenticate each other’s identity. If you are sending data to a remote database, you can ensure that communication between the two machines is secure. |
| Private key/digital certificate alias name | (Optional) The alias name within the OpenEdge keystore of the
private key and digital certificate entry to be used to authenticate
all connections to the broker. If this is not selected, the broker
uses the default_server server certificate
alias. You must provide a unique alias for each certificate or private key. |
| Password to access the key/certificate | (Optional) The password to be used for accessing the private key
and digital certificate. Note: If you use the
default_server server certificate, it also
has a default password that you need not specify.
|
| Disable SSL session caching | (Optional) Disables caching for the SSL client session. |
| SSL session cache timeout | (Optional) The
duration, in seconds, that an SSL client session is held in the
session cache, during which an SSL client can resume its
session. The default value is 180. |
| Apply | Saves the current launch configuration definition. |
| Revert | Discards unsaved changes to the current launch configuration definition. |
| Run or Debug | Starts or debugs the specified instance. |
| Close | Closes the Configurations wizard. |
