No Host Verify (-nohostverify) (for STS capability)

Use No Host Verify (-nohostverify) to turn off host verification for a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection to a database server or to the OpenEdge Authentication Gateway server.

Operating system and syntax UNIX / Windows -nohostverify
Use with Maximum value Minimum value Single-user default Multi-user default
Client Connection, Authentication Gateway server

Without this parameter specified, the client compares the host name specified in the connection with the Common Name specified in the server certificate, and raises an error if they do not match. With this parameter specified, the client never raises the error.

While your database connection may or may not be running with TLS enabled for communication to its remote clients, the communication to the OpenEdge Authentication Gateway server is always run with TLS enabled.

If the database is running with TLS enabled, No Host Verify (-nohostverify) is set the same for both the OpenEdge Server TLS communication as well as for the OpenEdge Authentication Gateway server communication.
