A C++ client can use IIOP tunnelled within SSL (also called IIOPS) to establish a secure session with EAServer.
For more information about security, including managing
client side certificates, see Chapter 11, “Managing Keys and Certificates.”
To establish a secure session with EAServer, follow these steps:
Step |
What it does |
Detailed explanation |
|---|---|---|
1 |
Initialize the SSL security service as an ORB. |
|
2 |
Initialize the client ORB and create an ORB reference. |
|
3 |
Use the ORB reference to create a Manager instance for the server. |
|
4 |
Use the Session instance to create stub component instances. This step is the same regardless of whether the application uses SSL. |
Chapter 6, “Developing CORBA/C++ Clients,” of the EAServer Corba Components Guide. |
5 |
Optionally, you can retrieve security information about the session. |
