The overall steps in configuring OpenEdge Replication for Transport Layer Security are:
  1. Configure the source and target databases.
    For details, see one of the following:
  2. Configure environment variables for debugging connection security.

    See Log TLS messages during OpenEdge Replication.

  3. Start the source and target and make sure that they are synchronized.
  4. Run client activity on the source database.

    Note that the replication server is actually the TLS client. To understand how replication plugins work as TLS clients and servers, see How OpenEdge Replication works with Transport Layer Security.

  5. Validate changes sent over the network to the target database, as follows:

    On the target database, check the cert.server.log for the following message:

    SSL Server handshake suceeded

    On the source database, check the cert.client.log for the following message: 

    SSL Client handshake succeeded
