Re: [twsocket] TWSocket and SSL
Hello Daniel, I think you first need a little background knowledge about SSL and then you can apply it with ICS components. You should probably read the book (or at least parts of it): Network security win OpenSSL by John Viega, matt Messier Pravir Chandra. O-Reilly. ISBN 0-596-00270-X. You can find it on Amazon and in any good book store. This book is very interesting for you because ICS-SSL is based on OpenSSL. ICS-SSL components hide the complexity of OpenSSL programming, nevertheless, the fundamental information is the same. Just skip any code section. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be - Original Message - From: daniel cc dan...@signedsource.com To: ICS support mailing twsocket@elists.org Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2011 9:41 PM Subject: Re: [twsocket] TWSocket Yeah, Many thanks Arno :) Rebuilding did help.

Re: [twsocket] TWSocket and SSL
Hi Francois, Thanks for the response :) I don't have the book yet but I have already collected some info. Here are few unclear things, 1) Do I need to install the OpenSSL to the machine? 2) How do I use the batch file for making the keys, the batch file is made by you and it is founded in SSL directory of the component, this batch file looks real good but how it works? 3) How do I set the keys for each client and where do I keep the keys in the server? 4) How about the root certificate, where do I keep it, in my server directory? You see, I need to first understand the basic things about the component and will go for the secrets of SSL after that :) Thanks in advance With best regards -daniel -Original Message- From: Francois PIETTE Sent: Friday, January 14, 2011 11:12 AM To: ICS support mailing Subject: Re: [twsocket] TWSocket and SSL Hello Daniel, I think you first need a little background knowledge about SSL and then you can apply it with ICS components.

Re: [twsocket] TWSocket and SSL
I don't have the book yet but I have already collected some info. Here are few unclear things, 1) Do I need to install the OpenSSL to the machine? Yes, but this is simply copying the two OpenSSL DLL 2) How do I use the batch file for making the keys, the batch file is made by you and it is founded in SSL directory of the component, this batch file looks real good but how it works? You need the book to get the command line utility syntax. 3) How do I set the keys for each client and where do I keep the keys in the server? You don't need a key per client on the server. 4) How about the root certificate, where do I keep it, in my server directory? Open OverbyteIcsWSocket.pas and search for Reference guide in the comments. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
