Consuming HTTPS based REST service in OE11.6

Posted by archana.gupta on 05-Sep-2017 06:46

Hello,

I am working on consuming the HTTPS based REST services in progress 11.6 using .net libraries(openedge.net.pl). Please suggest if it is mandatory to install the security certificates in the progress installation directory (<install dir>\certs\).

There is no need to perform such step(install certificate), if we consume the same HTTPS based REST service in postman, SOAPUI or wget.exe program.

Thanks,

Archana

Hi Archana,

If you API's use digitally signed certificates signed by a valid Certificate Authority then you do not need. I call a Google API over HTTPS using ABL HTTP library and I do not need to install any certificates for that in $DLC/certs.

AppURL = "www.google.com/search + String(i) + ".jpg".

Yes. It is mandatory to install the certificates using the $DLC/certutil tool.
 
Those other also tools do it, just transparently.
