Installing and Licensing the AppServer Internet Adapter

You can install AIA when you install the AppServer, or you can install AIA separately on another machine. There are two versions of the AIA product:

In addition to installing AIA or AIA/S, the following must be installed on the same machine as the Java servlet engine (JSE) and configured for use with AIA or AIA/S:

For information about administering and configuring AIA, see the "Administering and Configuring an AppServer Internet Adapter" section. For information about installing and configuring Web servers, see the "Installing and Configuring Web Servers and Java Servlet Engines" section.

AIA/S uses SSL to support server authentication. Supporting server authentication requires that X.509 digital certificates be installed on both the Web server and the client machine. At each Web server to be accessed, a server certificate that uniquely identifies this Web server must be installed. As part of the SSL protocol, this server certificate is sent from the Web server to the client.

To secure the Web server for deployment, you must perform the following tasks:

At the client machine, the Root Certification Authority (CA) certificate for all server certificates must be installed before HTTPS can be used. For WebClients and 4GL clients, the Root CA certificates must be installed in the Install-Dir/certs directory, where Install-Dir identifies the directory where Progress is installed. Root CA certificates for publicly available and well-known CAs, such as Verisign©, are automatically installed into the Install-Dir/certs directory during the Progress installation. For more information about digital certificates for Open Client, see the Progress Open Client Developer’s Guide .
