As you work with OpenEdge Management, make sure that data being transferred between the web browser and the web server is secure. In cases in which you are sending or receiving sensitive data, the security of the communications is essential.

You can use the HTTPS protocol for communications between the web browser and the OpenEdge Management web server. The HTTPS protocol with TLS encrypts data through the use of a public-private key pair and a signed certificate, thereby making sure that both the client and the server (or, as in the case of OpenEdge Management, a web browser and the web server) can authenticate each other's identity.
