APPX Desktop Client Encryption

Line: 7 to 7
 

Overview

Changed:
<
<
Release 5.0.0 or higher of the APPX Desktop Client allows SSL encryption to optionally be enabled for "Remote" APPX Desktop Client sessions when connecting to APPX Server 5.0.0 or higher. The APPX Desktop Client SSL encryption feature encrypts all data transmitted between the APPX Desktop Client and the APPX Server including login ID, password, all session data, all reports printed by the client, and all files transferred between the client and the server. The APPX Desktop Client can only establish an encrypted SSL connection with an APPX Server that has an APPX Login Manager that supports and that has been properly configured to accept SSL connection requests from the various types of APPX clients. The APPX Login Manager on the APPX Server may be configured to either require that an APPX Desktop Client that is requesting a connection must use SSL encryption, to only use SSL encryption if so requested by the APPX Desktop Client that is requesting a connection, or to only accept "clear text" connections from an APPX Desktop Client that is requesting a connection. If an SSL session is initiated, the APPX Login Manager may further require that the APPX Desktop Client identify itself by providing an acceptable SSL certificate [Note: This feature is not yet implemented by the APPX Desktop Client].

APPX Desktop Client Handshake

When an APPX Desktop Client connects with an APPX Login Manager to establish a client session with an APPX Server, the first step is to complete a "handshake". The handshake exchanges version and configuration information between the APPX Desktop Client and the APPX Login Manager. This information is used to determine whether the connection should use enable SSL encryption or use "clear text".

SSLMode

The SSLMode preference is used to identify the type of connection that the APPX Desktop Client should attempt to establish - either SSL or "clear text". Depending on the value specified for SSLMode, the other SSL preferences may not always be relevant.
