Installing the sedex-Client on an Operating System🔗

This documentation describes the sedex-Client in general and how to install, configure and run the sedex-Client on an operating system using the installer provided by sedex.

The sedex-Client is a software that connects business and e-government applications with the secure data exchange platform sedex. Typically, the sedex-Client runs on the same hosts as these applications in Swiss municipalities, cantons and federal offices.

Installation and migration overview🔗

The sedex-Client must be installed on a host that is in a network zone that can access the sedex server via the HTTP/HTTPS protocols (see Firewall for details).

The sedex-Client can be installed either on a dedicated host or on the same host as the business application, as long as the host fulfills the system requirements.

The sedex-Client can be installed in three different ways:

To migrate an existing sedex-Client installation to a new version or a new location, see Migrating/updating existing sedex-Clients.

Warning: Do not duplicate or move an existing installation by copying it. That can lead to a loss of messages! Always use one of the installer programs to install or migrate the sedex-Client.

Do you want to operate the sedex-Client as a Docker container instead of a classic standalone installation?

The sedex-Client can also be operated as a Docker container using the Docker Image provided by sedex. For this please refer to the separate User Documentation for the sedex-Client Docker Image.
