Issue/Introduction
Under Gen 8.6, if wanting to use a Gen client to call a Gen server that publishes Web Services e.g. Transaction Enabler, EJB Web Services, using the Web Services cooperative flow (Coopflow) can SSL be used?
Environment
Gen Distributed Processing
Resolution
SSL is not currently supported for the Web Services Coopflow.
See Security in Distributed Processing for other available security options.
An alternative option to be able to use SSL would be to use CALL EXTERNAL to call the Web Service instead of the Web Service coopflow: Call External Statement in Action Diagram > Consume a Secure Web Service
Additional Information
Gen Engineering has the Web Services Coopflow SSL feature included as part of their backlog but there is no timeline for when it will be available.
