Following is the URL syntax for the APSV transport, which OpenEdge supports to connect ABL clients or Java and .NET Open Clients to a PAS for OpenEdge instance:

Syntax

scheme://[username:passphrase@]host:port/[web-app-name/]apsv

Where:

scheme
Specifies either HTTP or HTTPS.
Note: Internet-secure connections to a PAS for OpenEdge instance using HTTPS require the management of a certificate store for public key certificates on the client (TLS client) and a certificate and key store for private keys and certificates on the PAS for OE instance (TLS server). For information on configuring both OpenEdge clients and PAS for OpenEdge instances for HTTPS connections, see Digital certificate management in this manual.
[username:passphrase@]
Specifies the user login credentials required to connect to the specified OE ABL Web application on the PAS for OpenEdge instance, according to the authentication model configured for the Web application. If the authentication model is Anonymous, no user credentials are required. If the model is HTTP Basic Authentication, you must provide a valid username (username) and password (passphrase) known to the user account systems configured for the Web application and its APSV transport.
Note: The APSV transport does not support HTTP Forms authentication.
host
Specifies the name or domain of the PAS for OpenEdge host.
port
Specifies the port for the host connection. Typically, HTTP uses 8810 and HTTPS uses 8811.
[web-app-name/]apsv
Specifies the OE ABL Web application and ABL client (or Open Client) transport (apsv) to connect with, where web-app-name is the name of an OE ABL Web application. If web-app-name is not specified, a connection to the default OpenEdge ABL web application (ROOT) is used.

For example, assuming a given a PAS for OpenEdge instance (scheme, host, and port (.)), an ABL client connection to an OE ABL Web application deployed in a WAR file named inventory.war is represented as:

./inventory/apsv

An ABL client connection to the default OE ABL Web application on the same host can be represented :

./apsv
