Hello, I think, this is a basic question. Is there any possiblily to use zope with ssl connections? I'm a beginner to that subject, but I wonder if you could perhaps configure apache so that the server is handling the en&decryption things. How to do that? In addition, does the answer change when using ZServer? Would it be a good thing for zope to have access to the openssl library under python 1.5.2 and above? Is somebody working on this right now? Regards, Thomas

You can use stunnel or sslwrap to have the connnection to ZServer be encrypted by SSL. Or you can use Apache with mod_ssl, which is easier to setup, I think. -- Itamar - itamars@ibm.net ----------------------------o----------------------------------------------o Sealingwax Greeting Cards | Trust?

You'd need to run up something like Apache with mod_ssl to do the SSL connection, then have it talk to the Zope process - either through PCGI, or mod_pcgi.
In addition, does the answer change when using ZServer? Would it be a good thing for zope to have access to the openssl library under python 1.5.2 and above? Is somebody working on this right now?
another alternative might be to wrap the ZServer inside stunnel, and have stunnel do all the SSL bits. I don't know how well this would work. Anthony
