Setting up SSL in Sybase products

As of version 12.5, Sybase added SSL support to some Sybase products, such as ASE, Open Client, Open Server, Replication Server, and jConnect. Currently, some Sybase products use Certicom SSLPlus and Security Builder libraries.

Note Be aware that ASE 12.5 uses SSLPlus, versions 3.1.4/5 and 5.1.4, while ASE 15.0 uses SSLPlus, version 5.1.4.

ASE can use SSL for CIS and Site-handler. Also, ASE and Replication Server require licensing to use SSL.

Some Sybase products have SSL configuration options and can be easily configured to use SSL. Others provide special APIs or require some programming. The following section provides instructions for specific setups.
