Describes SSL support and defines associated terms, "server" and "client".
In the context of SSL support, the word "server" has two meanings.
Sybase CEP Server refers to the component of Sybase CEP Engine that processes queries.
SSL server refers to any application that responds to requests from another application.
The word "client" also has two meanings when discussing SSL:
Sybase CEP client refers to Sybase CEP Studio, or to another program that provides a way for you to interact with Sybase CEP Server. This section uses Sybase CEP Studio as an example of the Sybase CEP client, but SSL may also be enabled for other client applications that communicate with Sybase CEP Server: for example, the c8_client utility, Eclipse Plugin, or an application designed by you to replace Sybase CEP Studio.
SSL client refers to any application that makes a request of another application.
When setting up client/server SSL features, keep in mind the following guidelines:
Sybase CEP Server may act as both SSL client and SSL server when communicating with another Sybase CEP Server, and thus requires both server and client SSL features.
Sybase CEP Studio always acts as an SSL client in communication with Sybase CEP Server, and requires only client SSL features.
