[ilugd] linux based server - Multi OS client
hi all, I want to create a linux based automation software for our office. This will consist of: 1. linux based server daemon 2. Client software for multiple OS(including linux, win, Mac) I want to create a simple linux based server program, which listen for requests on network, and on receiving one authenticates it with MySQL(or /etc/passwd), and then processing the request, like fetching the data from the database and sending back the result( raw text or binary data like graphs). Above is the basic outline of the server. It needs to communicate with the client over a secure protocal. This should be simple enough, so that clients can be easily written for multiple platforms. Can anyone help me out in designing the basic secure interaction authentication part of the two components.

You can use apache-ssl. You can probably to authentication via digest etc. Develop the software in you favourite scripting language which starts with p Now can't get more protable then that regards Supreet ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

What about looking at Java with JAAS and TLS and perhaps client side certificates? - Cross platform...your clients/server would be completely portable - Secure - No network level programming Also, wouldn't a web based application do for you?
