Context: We want to implement a client server application (2 tier) over the net, a Rev client on Mac/PC, using the Rev database library functions, to talk directly to a PostgreSQL database on a remote server.
For security purposes, PostgreSQL has the right stuff such as SSL and it's own firewall. We realize that a 3 tier architecture may be more secure in general, but we have reasons to want to do this, and it's for a very limited number of users strictly controlled (for example, we can restrict which IP addresses are allowed to connect.) Problem: What about Revolution? Does it have the right stuff? The documentation on the revOpenDataBase function is not entirely clear - but it seems to indicate that SSL only works on MySQL? Is that true? Also, the user manual hints that SSL functionality may not be available in the database library except in the Enterprise edition. Is that correct? Solution: What's the scoop? Can we use the rev built in DB functions over SSL to Postgres? Anyone know? Anyone doing it? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
