OpenEdge supports TLS client and server connections over the Internet (using HTTPS and appropriate middleware) or on an intranet (using an OpenEdge implementation of TLS). The following topics describe how OpenEdge client and server components support TLS.

CAUTION: Use of TLS in any network environment can have significant performance impact. Be certain that you need the security that TLS provides before you choose to design and build TLS into any of your application networking.
