The OpenEdge native certificate store is an OpenEdge-managed certificate store used to hold trusted root CA certificates for TLS validation.

For native OpenEdge trust‑store scenarios, OpenEdge still ships a default trusted CA certificate from the Progress Software Corporation CA, which also signed the default_server certificate included with OpenEdge. This CA certificate is provided in PEM (d9855a82.0) and DER (pscca.cer) formats and can be used to trust OpenEdge server components out of the box.

The OpenEdge native certificate store serves as an alternative to the OS trust store and must be explicitly configured to take effect. When OpenEdge native certificate store is enabled:

  • OpenEdge uses only the native certificate store for TLS validation.
  • The OS trust store is not consulted.
  • You must manually install all required CA certificates into the native OpenEdge trust store.
