[Qgis-user] SSL support

[Milena Nowotarska]

Hi All,

QGIS 1.4 from osgeo4w installer seems to not have SSL support while
Standalone has.
Is it a known issue or I'm missing some component from osgeo4w?

[Qgis-user] SSL Support in QGIS Builds, esp. Windows and MacOSX

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi QGIS developers,

Some colleagues of mine and I need SSL support in QGIS to access a Postgis
server which only allows SSL connections. While this is no problem on
Linux, where I have a build environment, I can't compile Windows and Mac
versions myself - well maybe I could do it for Mac, but definitely not on
Windows.

So my question or wish to the QGIS packagers is that SSL support in
Windows and Mac builds (potentially also Linux binaries) would have SSL
support enabled by default.

I don't know how much effort this needs or how complex it is to do SSL
enabled Windows and Mac binaries?

Thank you for considering my feature request for the final 1.0 QGIS release.

Andreas

ok - I did a test with the all in one bundle from 
http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/mac/qgis-0.10.0.dmg.gz and I could 
successfully connect using SSL. Good!


I used MacOSX10 Tiger, 10.4.11

I didn't yet have the chance to get hold of a Windows Computer - will 
test that tomorrow at work and report if it doesn't work.


Thanks a lot,
Andreas

On OSX, at least the way I and Tom package our builds, the postgres 
client library is bundled in the Qgis application, so there is no need 
to worry about whether they are available in the system or not.  Windows 
builds may do the same.


For the SSL libraries, those are part of the standard OSX system, no 
worries there.  I don't know about Windows.

yes - my server has SSL enabled, but most of the client PCs and Macs 
don't have any Psql tools or libraries installed, and no openssl

No, QGIS doesn't block SSL (Marco and I tried it yesterday on Linux) - 
but the OpenSSL libraries must be present on the clients - which is 
usually not the case I think.

Unless there is something in Qgis blocking SSL?

All generalizations are dangerous, even this one.
