Data privacy for client connections to an AppServer

OpenEdge supports secure connections to the AppServer using SSL from any client. For application clients (4GL or Open Clients), this includes both Internet (HTTPS) access using the AppServer Internet Adapter (AIA) and direct intranet access using an SSL variation of the AppServer protocol. For AppServer adapters, OpenEdge also supports SSL AppServer protocol connections to the AppServer on the intranet. For more information on SSL in OpenEdge, see the "Application network security using SSL" section.

Note: AppServer agents, as 4GL database clients, can also access the OpenEdge RDBMS using SSL.
