Expedite Base for Windows 4.7.1 now supports Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) TCP/IP connectivity to Information Exchange.
Communication between Expedite Base for Windows and Information
Exchange is performed using Client X.509 Certificate authenticated
SSL for enhanced security.
Digital certificates encrypt data using Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) technology, the industry-standard method for protecting
web communicates developed by Netscape Communication corporation.
The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server
authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication
for a TCP/IP connection.
Expedite Base for Windows 4.7.1 customers can communicate
with Information Exchange using asynchronous communication,
standard TCP/IP, or Secure Sockets Layer TCP/IP.
AT&T Global Network Client ver 5 is included with Expedite
Base for Windows 4.7.1. Also, Expedite Base for Windows
4.7.1 is now supported on Windows 2003 server edition.

| The installation
program checks your system configuration and, if necessary,
renames and stores 16-bit iebase.pro files. It also backs
up customized files. You must download the application files
from the Expedite and Expedite Base download site. Run the
self-extracting package and the install program will start
automatically to install IBM Java Runtime (JRE) and Global
Security Kit (GSKit) with iKEYMAN. After these programs have
been installed, the Expedite Base interactive installation
begins and you can choose the directory where you want to
install Expedite Base for Windows and the AT&T Global
Network Client. When the installation is complete, a new folder
is created containing the dialer icon and the icons that are
required to run Expedite Base for Windows. Reboot your system.
Upon restarting your system and before launching the iKEYMAN
tool to handle certificates, you must run the ikmsetup. bat
file from either Start > Programs > Expedite
Base for Windows > iKEYMAN Setup or from the
Expedite root directory. This is a one-time setup step only. |
