SSL + RPC

2002-11-01 Thread Nathan Yocom
I have read through everything I can and the only hint I can find that SSL may/maynot work with RPC is that "SSL may be used with any TCP/stream based communication". Technically I can restrict my RPC communication to tcp only - is it possible to then use SSL as well? or should I just look at

For your own purposes however - you can define any behaviour you like for sending and interpreting out-of-band data as long as you keep it parallel to the SSL/TLS (the SSL/TLS stream data can't arrive out of order). This would be independant of OpenSSL (and any other SSL/TLS implementation) - and
