The SSL support in webMethods Broker provides different levels of security for the communication between a Broker client and the Broker to which it is connected. This section describes how to use the BrokerConnectionDescriptor functions to control the use of SSL.

Note:
In order for your Broker client to use SSL, your Broker must first be configured to use SSL. See Administering webMethods Broker for information on configuring your Broker.
