Application Interface Services (AIS) Server and AIS Client Security

The AIS Server is the communication interface between JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and various AIS Server clients. The AIS Server provides a JSON over REST interface (HTTP), a light-weight interface that enables AIS clients to interact with EnterpriseOne applications and forms. Any client or software language that uses JSON over REST can interface with the AIS Server.

You can configure the AIS Server with the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol so that all communication is over HTTPS. See Configuring SSL for EnterpriseOne Servers.

The AIS Server uses EnterpriseOne authentication to authenticate AIS clients. For a list of authentication methods supported for AIS clients, see "Understanding AIS Authentication" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Application Interface Services Server Reference Guide.

Starting with EnterpriseOne Tools 9.2.2.2, an AIS Server requires a configuration with the EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server (Security Server). This configuration ensures that login requests to the AIS Server use the site key on the Enterprise Server for encryption. If not configured, all login requests to the AIS Server will fail. See "Configuring the AIS Server with an EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Application Interface Services Server Reference Guide.
