In their own words
Progress Application Server for OpenEdge
Progress Application Server for OpenEdge is a self-hosted web server that extends Apache Tomcat for OpenEdge and ABL applications. Routing and adapter functions provide access to business logic from ABL, browser-based, and mobile clients. It supports ABL and WebSpeed code, web handlers, and REST and SOAP services, with REST, WEB, SOAP, and APSV transports for ABL services. The server includes Spring Security and supports HTTPS, authentication, and authorization. The OpenEdge Authentication Gateway connects to LDAP and Active Directory, but is not included with the Lite license. Progress offers development, production, and Lite versions: the development server comes with a Developer Studio license, production requires an additional license, and Lite is intended for up to five concurrent connections. Administrators can use OpenEdge Management, command-line utilities, or APIs to deploy and manage applications. PAS is available in a Docker container. Pricing is available on request; the product is paid and a free plan is also listed.
