I did it Windows to Cache on Windows, although the tunnel was through a *nix
box.

WindwosClient and OpenVistaServer
With the new version of the Broker it is possible to tunnel the connection
securely between the client and server on Linux at least, and although I
have
not investigated this with Cache, I assume since Open SSH can be run on
Windows, the same should be true in that setting.

Ok, now this is quite nice I guess. In my personal opinion
OpenVistaServer is quite lucky to still only have very primitive
TCP/IP facilities. To me that means the way to go is still very open!
So I would like to take this opportunity to make a suggestion or ask a
few questions:
Why not focus on a modern OpenSource Technology/ Protocol that Linux
is building on/with as well; like Rsync, SSH, GPG? With Rsync, SSH and
GPG you get security, speed and reliability and another good community
connection, that I'm sure is willing to provide thier technology for
the OpenVista Server.
I believe that the connection between client (ie Windwos GUI) and
server (ie Linux) will be one of the very most _utmost_ used basic
features in OpenVista. Just making that connection work reliably will
lay the foundation for many User Stories and services. Imagine the
data of a patient being transfered encrypted over the network to the
computer of another doctor (ie. via the internet or the local
network). With GPG these connections can always be made encrypted for
every single user.
I can tell from what I have seen in Switzerland, that the PGP (GPG in
Linux) encryption works very well for encrypting and transferring
patient data over the network, local or internet. What I do not like
about the solution in Switzerland is, that the solutions provider is
a) just on company not going open source and b) not yet thinking too
much in Open Standards. Also the actual software running on the
doctors desktop does not yet connect that well with encryption
technology that transfers the data over the internet for example to
the insurance company.
With a small markets as Switzerland (8 Mio population) that may work
in the beginning but not for the long run. That is why I'm so
interested in OpenVista ;)!
Thanks
Zeno
