Actions #2

Updated by bju over 11 years ago

I've done some test coding:

  • On the client side, some handling was added create a SSLSocket and to verify certificated. Currently no verification is done. This way we got encryption, but no warranty for a connection to the right server. This requires some key/certificate management.
  • Instead of implementing the whole SSL stuff in the server side, I've used stunnel to wrap the connection inside a SSL tunnel. I don't know whether this could be a solution for all users. Implementing SSL inside the server would definitely be easier for the user ...

So what's missing:

  • SSL inside the server, if wanted.
  • Re-enabling the GUI option for secure connections

Now I've implemented the server side and extended the ebuilds to create a certificate. Now we should do some documentation ...
