Configure a client to access an HTTPS server

Configuration steps to access a server in HTTPS.

To configure access to an HTTPS server, you will need to configure for the client certificate, configure for the certificate authority list, and the add additional entries for the server to the fglprofile.
  1. Configure for the client certificate. See Configure for the client certificate.
  2. Configure for the certificate authority list. See Configure for the certificate authority list.
  3. Add configuration entries for the server to fglprofile.
    The Genero Web Services client needs a set of configuration entries that specify the security configuration and the HTTP authentication when accessing an HTTPS server. The following entries must be defined with an unique identifier (such as myserver) :

    ws.myserver.url =
    "https://www.MyServer.com/cgi-bin/fglccgi.exe/ws/r/MyWebService"
    ws.myserver.security = "id1"

    (line breaks added for document readability)
    • The unique identifier myserver can be used in the 4GL client code in place of the actual URL.
    • The security entry value (id1 in this example) must match the unique identifier defined by the client security entry created in 3.
