How to implement SSL connections

[K4sh]

Everything is in the title.
We would like to use SSL connections with our webspeed application. Specially with the authentification page.
I don't have any idea how to do this.
Documentation is not easy to find. Where to find it ? Which application to configure ?

Any help will be appreciated.

You need to implement SSL on the WebServer. You need to look into the documentation of your WebServer in order to figure out how to implement it. The OpenEdge documentaion ( OpenEdge Getting started: Core Business Services ) has chapters on PKI ( public key infrastructure ) and SLL which not only describe how to set it up with OpenEdge products but also in general. You should read it to get an understanding of the components like certificates you need to deal with.

SSL is not just a magic setting - it involves careful planning and some administrative steps.

HTH, RealHeavyDude.

Hi, im starting with SSL as well.

Win Xp
Version: 10.2.0.00
OpenEdge Release: 10.2A
Apache 2.2

As far as i know apache already has the module mod_ssl but is disabled. To activate it you need the OpenSsl library. you can get it here: http://www.deanlee.cn/programming/openssl-for-windows/

Once you have properly enabled your ssl support on Apache then you can get a Trial SSL Certificate to test your applicaton before buy it: http://www.ssl.com/c-9-ssl-certificates.aspx
As RealHeavyDude said, there's a lot of confihurations to do.

Im still learning but hope this info can help you.

There's more information on ssl.com about the steps and requirements to complete your ssl connection.

If you get more info pls post it.

I tried to setup sll with apache, but failed.

But with Tomcat you have to do only this:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore С:\Tomcat\conf\.keystore

then change TOMCAT/conf/server.xml file by adding/changing

<Connector port="8443" minSpareThreads="5" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="true" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" maxThreads="200"
scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true"
keystoreFile="C:\Tomcat\conf\.keystore" keystorePass="changeit"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"/>

It is not right way to setup ssl, but if you need just https connection it will be enough.
