9.1.Overview
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. |
