The Schema holder can run on the client or can optionally be located on any other host that is accessible on your network. The network can be configured to use a TLS connection to your schema holder irrespective of whether the DataServer is configured remotely or locally.

The Schema holder connection can be established using the TLS network protocol by specifying the -ssl parameter from the command line as follows:

_mprosrv SHDB -ssl -S <schema-holder-port>

_probrkr -H <dataserver-host> -S <dataserver-port> -ssl

The corresponding DataServer client should also be started with the "-ssl" parameter.

The Progress client connects to the schema holder as follows:

prowin32 -1 SHDB -ssl -S <schema-holder-port> 

The Progress client connects to the brokered Dataserver as follows:

-db my-dsn -ld my-ldb -dt ORA -U <user> -P <pwd> -H <dataserver-host> -S <dataserver-port> -ssl
