HTTPS security for BrokerConnect

BrokerConnect allows Progress 4GL applications to communicate with other applications using the Java Message Service (JMS) infrastructure managed by SonicMQ. All security for the JMS infrastructure accessed by the OpenEdge Adapter for SonicMQ is provided by SonicMQ. For more information, see the SonicMQ documentation.

OpenEdge supports data privacy using SSL for the connection between the Progress 4GL client and BrokerConnect directly over intranet connections and over the Internet through the AppServer Internet Adapter (AIA) using HTTPS. You can also secure the direct connection between an AIA and BrokerConnect server session using SSL. BrokerConnect allows you to set SSL server session properties for BrokerConnect using the Progress Explorer framework. This is similar to setting SSL server session properties for an AppServer. For more information on setting SSL for BrokerConnect, see the "Configuring BrokerConnect" section. For more information on SSL support in OpenEdge, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Core Business Services . For more information on configuring the AIA for Internet access to OpenEdge server sessions, see the "Configuring an AIA with the Progress Explorer" section.
