SSL Linkage of the CORBA Service
10-3
SSL Linkage of the CORBA Service
The SSL linkage function of the CORBA Service performs encrypted communication that is used for
transferring data between CORBA applications by using SSL.
Mechanism of the SSL Linkage Function
If encrypted communication is set for the object reference of the server application in CORBA
application linkage, encrypted communication using SSL is conducted with any client linked to the object.
Figure 10-1 shows a processing image (when an object reference is generated statically) of the SSL
linkage function.
Figure 10-1 SSL Linkage Function
If SSL information is set for an object reference acquired by the client application, SSL encrypted
communication is conducted to send and receive requests to the server application.
Developing the CORBA Application
To perform SSL communication using the CORBA application linkage, the ordinary CORBA application
can be used as is. It is only necessary to set SSL information when the CORBA application (server
application) is registered. No application needs to be recreated (including re-linkage).
