GOAL:
Is data encryption supported in OpenEdge?
GOAL:
Is data encryption supported in Progress 9.x?
GOAL:
Is there native support for data encryption between a Progress 9.x client and database?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
OpenEdge Category: Language (4GL/ABL)
Progress 9.x
FIX:
1. There are no methods within Progress 9.x to encrypt the communication between a fat Progress client and the Progress database.
2. Third party solutions may be used to encrypt the wire between the fat Progress client and the Progress database (i.e. VPN/IPSEC, hardware encryption, etc.).
3. Encryption can occur between a WebClient using HTTPS to a Progress AppServer. This would require a separation of business logic and UI.
4. Native data encryption support has been included starting with OpenEdge 10.0B.
