PRODUCT: 4D Client | VERSION: 11.4 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: August 6, 2009
It is possible for 4D Client to accept web service calls with SSL. The following needs to be done to achieve this:
- The 4D Server must have the appropriate licenses to have a 4D client accept web service calls.
- On the 4D Client, the Preference "Allow SSL for Web Server" must be checked.
- The cert.pem and key.pem files must be moved into the client database folder. Which can be found in the following location:
- Vista: {Disk}:\Users\Current user\AppData\Local\4D\DatabaseName_Address
- Windows XP: {Disk}:\Documents and Settings\Current user\Local Settings\Application Data\DatabaseName_Address
- Mac OS: {Disk}:Users:User:Library:Caches:4D:DatabaseName_Address:
- Vista: {Disk}:\Users\Current user\AppData\Local\4D\DatabaseName_Address
