Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

Configuring and Managing the AppServer Internet Adapter

The AppServer Internet Adapter (AIA) Web-enables the AppServer and the OpenEdge Adapter for SonicMQ BrokerConnect (BrokerConnect) by supporting HTTP and HTTPS protocols for sending information across the Internet. In addition, the HTTP and HTTPS protocols provide a way for clients to access an AppServer or a BrokerConnect connection when the client and server are separated by firewalls that limit connections to HTTP and HTTPS. These topics are explained in the following sections:

Installing the AppServer Internet Adapter
Installing and configuring Web servers and Java servlet engines
Configuring AIA components
Viewing AppServer Internet Adapter connection and configuration information
