Specifications

OpenVMS Operating System for Alpha and VAX (Versions 7.1, 7.1–1H1, 7.1–1H2, and 7.1–2) SPD 41.87.06
Netscape Commerce Server Version 1.12 permits se-
cure electronic commerce and communications on the
Internet and Intranet using the fastest processors in the
industry. This server lets you publish hypermedia doc-
uments using HTML and deliver them over the Inter-
net and other TCP/IP networks using HTTP. To ensure
data security, Netscape Commerce Server provides ad-
vanced security features such as server authentication,
data encryption, data integrity, and user authorization.
Communications are based on open standards includ-
ing HTML, HTTP, the Common Gateway Interface (CGI),
and the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
Purveyor Encrypt WebServer for OpenVMS Version 1.2
combines the reliability, security, and scalability of the
OpenVMS platform with the graphical ease-of-use and
functionality of World Wide Web technologies. Pur-
veyor Encrypt lets you easily web-enable your existing
OpenVMS applications, develop an internal corporate
Intranet, or create a robust external web presence all
within a secure web environment. Using Secure Sock-
ets Layer (SSL) encryption and authentication, Purveyor
Encrypt ensures the security of access, traffic, and re-
quests made to web-enabled OpenVMS systems, which
typically house mission-critical data. Purveyor Web-
Server runs without encryption services, eliminating un-
necessary network overhead if not required.
Purveyor Encrypt runs over TCP/IP Services for Open-
VMS or any other TCP/IP for OpenVMS implementa-
tion, and can be configured to run in a clustered envi-
ronment for high availability. Other features include a
GUI log viewer application that can easily analyze traf-
fic on a web server, a GUI database wizard application
that can automatically build HTML FORMS and interact
with any ODBC-compliant database, virtual servers that
allow more than one web server to be configured, in-
tegration with the Windows NT user/group database, a
GUI file and link administration application for displaying
the structure of web pages and checking the integrity of
local and external links, and an integrated proxy server
that requires no additional hardware or software.
