- <title>Introduction</title>
- <p>Orber SSL provides authentication, privacy and integrity for your
- Erlang applications. Based on the Secure Sockets Layer protocol, the
- Orber SSL ensures that your Orber clients and servers can
- communicate securely over any network.
- This is done by tunneling IIOP through an SSL connection. To get
- the node secure you will also need to have a firewall which
- only lets through connections to certain ports.</p>
- </section>
-
- <section>
- <title>Enable Usage of Secure Connections</title>
- <p>To enable a secure Orber domain you have to set the configuration variable
- <em>secure</em> which currently only can have one of two values;
- <em>no</em> if no security for IIOP should be used and <em>ssl</em> if
- secure connections is needed (<em>ssl</em> is currently the only supported
- security mechanism).</p>
- <p>The default is no security.</p>

- <section>
- <title>Configurations when Orber is Used on the Server Side</title>
- <p>There is a variable to conficure Orber's SSL behavior on the server side.</p>
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item><em>ssl_server_options</em> - which is a list of options to ssl.
- See the <seealso marker="ssl:ssl">SSL</seealso> application for further
- descriptions on these options.</item>
- </list>
- <p>There also exist an API function for accessing the value of this variable:</p>
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item>orber:ssl_server_options/0</item>
- </list>
- </section>

- <title>Configurations when Orber is Used on the Client Side</title>
- <p>When the Orber enabled application is the client side in the secure connection the
- different configurations can be set per client process instead and not for the whole domain
- as for incoming calls.</p>
- <p>There is a variable to set default values for the domain but they can be changed
- per client process.</p>
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item><em>ssl_client_options</em> - which is a list of options to ssl.
- See the <seealso marker="ssl:ssl">SSL</seealso> application for further
- descriptions on these options.</item>
- </list>
- <p>There also exist two API functions for accessing and changing the values of this
- variable in the client processes.</p>
- <p>Access function:</p>
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item>orber:ssl_client_options/0</item>
- </list>
- <p>Modify function:</p>
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item>orber:set_ssl_client_options/1</item>
