Hi guys, I could do with some pointers on where to start. I'm trying to create a system with a server on a network and "slave" clients which connect to the server, publish a few methods and then sit and wait until the server calls one of the methods (on an individual basis, not necessarily broadcasting to all clients). So far, I've written a server and client using POE::IKC::Client and POE::IKC::Server, and it works ok. However, I also need:
Server authentication - I want the client to be sure they've connected to the right server. Client authentication - I want the server to know who's connecting (login/password), and treat them differently depending on who they are. I'm not sure POE::IKC is the way to go, but it seems pretty easy so I started there. Any suggestions as to which modules to use would be very welcome. I've looked at POE::Component::SSLify but can't see how to combine that with POE::IKC, and it looks like it only uses SSL as a transport layer, rather than for authentication etc. Thanks in advance.
