RB Server 7.03

rbuser

Have the security features of RB Server been updated? Can I control access
to the RB server by Username, Password and/or incoming IP?

Can I use SSL?

TIA

You can accomplish both of these with RB 7.02 or later....


1. Starting with RB 7.02 you can implement username/password security. See
the custom parameters demos in the followign directories.

RBServer\Demos\Servers\Custom Parameters
RBServer\Demos\Clients\Custom Parameters
RBServer\Demos\WebTier\Custom Parameters

The example work together. Each contains a ReadMe.doc and commented code.

2. For SSL see the article below.

Tech Tip: Configuring the WebTier to use HTTPS
---------------------------------------------------

Configuring the WebTier to use HTTPS can be accomplished using one of the
options listed below. The property editor by default does not allow https to
be specified. (This needs to be corrected in a future release.)

Options:

1. configure the WebTier.IniSettings to load the https params from an .ini
file

OR

2. Use the web module OnCreate event to code something like this:

rsWebTier1.HTTPPrefix := 'https://';

rsWebTier1.WebCachePath := 'https://localhost/rbWebPub/Cache/';
rsWebTier1.WebModuleURI :=
'https://localhost:8081/rbWebDebug.CoRBWebDebug';
