Christian,
We have been using Active4D/4D/SSL combination since v2003/A4D v3 (in
2003 no less) without incident and no difficulties to setup. We still
have a version of our system running v2003/A4D 4.5 and our main system
is running 4D v12/A4D 5. The former system on 2003 had to be front ended
with Apache in order to account for the 256 bit encryption certificates
that are now mandatory. (The client doesn't want to spend the money here
as it is totally a private system with 1 or 2 users). Both systems do
not allow port 80 traffic and redirect to 443, both allow for uploads
and use an extensive battery of AJAX/server side scripting and respond
quite nicely. Active4D needed no modifications to work without issue
with the 4D web server, just the normal configuration for upload file
size. We also use web service communication on port 443 to a fax service.
If you play Apache, you have to account for the rewrite rules on both
port 80 and 443, we also had to do a little tweaking in order to get the
AJAX working again. All in all, both methods have worked well. If you
use 4D's web server, just make sure that you have a pretty decent
processor. This helps with the SSL. We have approximately 50 users on
the 4D web server version and it has pretty good overall performance.
Using dual quad core Xeon processors here. We are planning to migrate
this system to Apache at a later time this year, but not for reasons of
SSL performance.
Sorry we skipped v11, but also had success with 4D 2004 test servers as
well. Feel free to inquire further if you have any specific questions.
Oh yes, one more thing, we have used certificates from Verisign,
Equifax, GoDaddy and self-signed.
Best,
Bill
