SSL in OpenEdge

OpenEdge supports SSL client and server connections over the Internet (using HTTPS and appropriate middleware) or on an intranet (using an OpenEdge implementation of SSL). This chapter describes how OpenEdge client and server components support SSL, as outlined in the following sections:

OpenEdge SSL architecture
Using SSL in OpenEdge
Managing SSL server identity
Configuring and running SSL sessions

Caution: Use of SSL in any network environment can have significant performance impacts. Be certain that you need the security that SSL provides before you choose to design and build SSL into any of your application networking.
