Frequently Asked Questions
What are Server Side HTTPS requests via App Connector, and how do they differ from client-side requests?
Server-side HTTPS requests via App Connector refer to the process of server-initiated HTTP(S) requests to OpenMethods resources on behalf of a client. In this process, OpenMethods App Connector functions as an intermediary between the client and the external resource.
While client-side requests originate directly from a user’s browser, server-side requests are initiated by OpenMethods App Connector.
Is one approach more secure than the other (Server-Side vs Client-Side)?
Both approaches can be secure when implemented correctly. Server Side HTTPS requests via App Connector offer better control and isolation since App Connector manages the requests, reducing the risk of client-side vulnerabilities.
However, client-side requests can also be secure with proper authentication and validation, but they rely on the user’s browser security settings.
How does using App Connector affect security?
Using App Connector can enhance security by acting as a shield between the client and external resources. It can add an additional layer of security by implementing security policies and filtering malicious content directly into OpenMethods platform, which is secure and removes the possibility of any client-side security and vulnerabilities.
Are client-side requests less secure because they are initiated by the user's browser?
Client-side requests are not inherently less secure. They rely on the security measures built into modern browsers, like sandboxing and same-origin policy.
However, they may be more vulnerable to client-side attacks like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) if developers do not follow best practices for input validation and security. We highly recommend using our App Connector to minimize any risks, especially when communicating to thrid party data sources and API’s.

Which approach is more suitable for my CRM Automations?
The choice between Server Side HTTPS requests via App Connector and client-side requests depends on your application’s specific requirements. Use OpenMethods App Connector when you need to centralize control, handle sensitive data, or mitigate client-side security risks.
Opt for client-side requests when you want to leverage client-side capabilities while ensuring proper security practices. Both Server Side HTTPS requests via App Connector and client-side requests can be secure when implemented with due diligence. The choice depends on your application’s needs and the level of control and security you require.
