Objects
This attribute defines that the application shall connect to a running server process which was started on the host (defined by the host name or IP address and the port number).
To establish a connection via SSL, the specification of the connection with .connect can be prefixed by the scheme "ssl://" (example .connect "ssl://myserver:0815";).
Example

|
|---|---|
application Appl {
.connect "localhost:4711";
}

application Appl {
.connect "ssl://localhost:4711";
}

Remarks
- The attributes .transport, .connect, and .exec can only be changed if .active is set at false.
- The attributes .connect and .exec depend on the transport mechanism used, i.e. future versions of the transport layer may have different types of connection establishment.
- The scheme "ssl://" can also be specified at the .transport attribute. If a scheme is given at both attributes, these must be identical. A once specified scheme "ssl://" cannot be turned off again.
