To use SSL, you must specify a value for the qop property in ORB properties or using the SSLServiceProvider interface. Set the qop to the name of an available security characteristic. The characteristic describes the CipherSuites the client uses when negotiating an SSL connection. When connecting, the client sends the list of CipherSuites that it uses to the server, and the server selects a cipher suite from that list. The server chooses the first cipher suite in the list that it can use. If the server cannot use any of the available CipherSuites, the connection fails.
Chapter 13, “Security Configuration Tasks” describes the security characteristics that are provided with EAServer. At runtime, you can retrieve a list of characteristics and their descriptions by retrieving the availableQop and availableQopDesc properties.
Set the qop to “sybpks_none” to prevent any use of SSL on a connection. This setting can be useful if you have set the qop globally for all ORBs using the SSLServiceProvider interface, and you want to override the qop for an individual ORB instance.
