Enabling a Secure Connection on the Desktop

When you enable secure connections, AvantGo Connect uses the HTTPS protocol instead of the HTTP protocol in connecting to the server during a sync. If the following conditions are true, you can connect to AvantGo Server using secure protocols:

$images\bullet.gif$ You have installed the security module add-on to AvantGo Client.

$images\bullet.gif$ Your system administrator has installed the security module add-on to AvantGo Server and enabled the use of secure protocols.

$images\bullet.gif$ Your server configuration in AvantGo Connect has the secure connection enabled.

To enable a secure connection, do the following:

1. Select Apple menu|Control Panels|AvantGo Connect to start the AvantGo Connect application.

2. Select the server from the list shown.

3. Click the Edit button.

4. The Edit server profile dialog appears.

5. Check the Connect to this server using a secure protocol box.

This box is enabled when a secure server appears in the Hostname field.

6. Click OK.
