Hi,
I'm a software developer that uses Interbase as my
backend database. I have no expertise/knowlege on SSL and fewer on TCP/IP and
networking.
I was discusing at an Interbase newsgroups about
the easy to break encription of Interbase username/password over the net during
connection (client to server) and more, data is not encripted to be sent over
network. So, using Interbase over INTERNET is not a good idea (as any snifer can
get your passord/data).
So, Bill Todd (TeamB) came with "How about SSL or
VPN?".
Well, I thought (think in the past :) sorry my poor
english) I could not use SSL other than with Web Servers (like Apache and IIS)
but then I got curious...
Can I make my (C/S) database connection over SSL
(using TCP/IP)?? If Yes, what do I need??
The database engine has to implement something?? --> How does SSL
works??
Well, I'm sorry for so "open" questions, if you can
point me any "direction", give me some references and docs I should read, I'd be
thankfull!!
Thanks to any help,
Regards.

WindowsNT and Linux OSs. And client at Windows9x.
