Using SSL in OpenEdge

Using SSL in OpenEdge requires some preparation, depending on the connected components and the type of connection you are using.

To use SSL in OpenEdge, over the Internet or for an intranet:

Establish the required SSL server identity and the means to authenticate it on all SSL clients that access the SSL server.
Configure or program, as appropriate, each SSL server and client component to connect using SSL over the Internet or on an intranet.
Start up each SSL server component before starting any of its SSL clients.

The remaining sections in this chapter describe key requirements and OpenEdge support for completing these steps.
