PowerBuilder allows you to establish Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections to EAServer. The SSL protocol allows connections to be secured using public-key encryption and authentication algorithms that are based on digital certificates. SSL is a "wrapper" protocol: packets for another protocol are secured by embedding them inside SSL packets. For example, HTTPS is HTTP secured by embedding each HTTP packet within an SSL packet. Likewise, IIOPS is IIOP embedded within SSL.
You use an instance of the SSLServiceProvider object to establish the connection from the client to the server. For more information, see the PowerScript Reference and Chapter 25, “Using SSL in PowerBuilder clients.”
