When you protect network communications with Transport Layer Security (TLS), the replication server is actually the TLS client. The replication agent's role may vary:
  • When there is one target database, the replication agent is a TLS server.
  • When there are two target databases, the transition process on the source database is a TLS client to the transition processes on the target database systems, and the replication agent is both the TLS server and the TLS client, as shown.

Use property files to configure the source and target replication properties for transition and to specify the TLS settings. See Sample OpenEdge Replication combined properties file for an example.
