Hi, One of my customers is interested in using SSL 3.0 in home-developed task-to-task applications. Is this available and in what form? Does an SSL 3.0 server exists for OpenVMS? Thanks, Nand. (PS: I will be frequently out of the office till May 12th. Please be patient when asking for more info. Thank you.)

Is SSL = Secure Socket Layer? If so, why are you asking in the DCE-PRODUCTS conference? Perhaps the UCX or Internet_Tools conference is more appropriate. If not, please explain what SSL is and how it relates to DCE. --Roger | |||||

Hi, thanks for your reply, and yes, with SSL I meant Secure Socket Layer, sorry for being unprecise. The customer mentioned SSL, GSS-API, x.500, x.509 in one breath. Background is that they are interested in an "SSL-like" solution, allowing for two-way authentication. So in principle anything goes, as long as clients are available on multiple platforms, and we can offer the authentication server on OpenVMS. Thinking at DCE, I thought this would be the best place to put the question. However, I can take the question to the AltaVista people if you prefer. Regards, Nand. | |||||

My SSL knowledge is cursory at best, so you should get more knowledgeable information. DCE does provide two-way authentication in a well-defined model, which may or may not fit the customer's wishes, so you shouldn't discount DCE yet. --Roger | |||||
