SSL Proxy Servers

The SSL Proxy package allow you to set up secure connections between any kind of clients and servers. You can use a proxy only at the client or both at the client and server.

Also The SSL Proxy is embedded into the WebSession™ application programming interface so you can write WebSession client applications that connect securely. If your server does not support SSL then you can use the SSL Server Proxy at the server end of the connection.

If your Server already supports SSL connections but you wish to use a client that does not, then you can deploy the I/O Concepts Client Proxy along with your client, as shown at left. Both your client and the SSL Proxy should run in the same machine.

The I/O Concepts SSL API makes it easy to write network applications that use secure client-server connections. If your server already supports SSL, the API provides convenience classes that you can use to establish secure connections.

If your server does not support SSL, you can front-end it with and I/O Concepts Server SSL Proxy. In this case you can embed an Client SSL Proxy right in your application. Thus, your server will not even know that its client connections are encrypted.

You can use the SSL Proxy Server to secure a client-server connection even if the client and server do not currently support encryption. The Proxy Server can run as both a client proxy and as a server proxy, depending on how it is configured.
