Installation and user manual for the sedex Client¶

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 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 which is in a network zone which 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.
