Create/Edit IIOP Listeners

Use this page to create IIOP listeners for your ORB.

In the SSL/TLS Settings section on this page, you can set security for the HTTP listener. Check the appropriate boxes associated with the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), including all the ciphers. You can select either SSL2 or SSL3/TLS sockets.
