Hi i have to program a secure connection for one of my customer.
I saw in the source an Option "HAVE_OPENSSL"

Does it work ?
How do i have to pass the cert-file and so on to the dll

I saw at microolap that they pass a String like
CustomString="usessl=true,"ClientCertificate=","ClientKey="

Please answer asap
Thx and best regards

DbxMda does not support SSL connections. I can suggest two alternatives to solve this problem:
1) Using MyDAC instead of DbxMda. MyDAC supports SSL connections.
2) Using SSH tunneling instead of SSL. You can use SecureBridge to make an SSH server and SSH client. Functionality of the SSH client can be embedded into your application.
