SSL Fact Sheet

As of version 5.2, OpenLink UDA now comes with optional support for using OpenSSL to encrypt the data layer between generic client and request broker / agent.

Features of the SSL implementation:

• secures connections to both the broker and all database agents
• encryption is optional, although it can be made mandatory
• the same connection endpoint endpoint (port) handles both encrypted and non-encrypted clients
• fully backward-compatible
• per-agent certificates
• all changes are in the OpenLink communications layer: there is no need to change any of the database agents to cater for SSL.
