GOAL:
Does the Web Services Adapter (WSA) support client-side SSL certificates ?
GOAL:
Does the Web Services Adapter (WSA) support server-side SSL certificates ?
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
The WSA itself does not really care about certificates since it is just a Java servlet running within a Java Servlet Engine (e.g. Tomcat). The Web Service consumers will be communicating directly with the JSE or the web server hosting the JSE. The WSA will then communicate with the AppServer. So you will need to configure the JSE or the web server to support client-side or server-side certificates.
The AdminServer also has to communicate with the JSE as well in order to deploy Web Services and configure the WSA. The AdminServer only supports server-side certificates and not client-side certificates. If client-side certificates are required, then you will either need to a) configure your environment in such a way that client-certificates are not requested from the machine which is hosting the AdminServer or b) enable client-side certificates after deploying and configuring your Web Service.
