C++ components

C++ components (and PowerBuilder NVOs) can make intercomponent calls across different servers using SSL in much the same way as any other C++ client. However, be aware of these considerations:

• The SSLServiceProvider interface is not available to components. Instead, set ORB-level SSL properties to initiate server-to-server intercomponent calls using SSL.

• Components use $JAGUAR/Repository/Security path to locate certificates and key database files if not using Entrust IDs. That is, components making intercomponent calls use the EAServer’s certificate and key database managed by EAServer Manager.

For information about developing C++ components and clients, see these chapters in the EAServer Programmer’s Guide:

• Chapter 14, “Creating CORBA C++ Components”

• Chapter 15, “Creating CORBA C++ Clients”

Your EAServer installation includes a sample C++ component that demonstrates how to call the CtsSecurity/SessionInfo component methods. See the following file in your EAServer installation for more information:
