VW + Seaside + HTTPS

Hello all,

want to test a shiny new smalltalk first time app developed with VW-7.8 and Seaside using https instead of http.

Any one can indicate how to go about it ? Where can I start looking for something documenting this ?

Thanks in advance.

Shyam

Re: VW + Seaside + HTTPS

There's a preview Opentalk-HTTPS parcel that you should be able to plug into the SeasideServer, but it will probably require a bit of tweaking. Look at references to SeasideServerConfiguration and try replacing HTTPTransportConfiguration with HTTPSTransportConfiguration. You'll also need to set up the transport with an SSL context and server certificate/key, see the package comments for SSL, X509 and Opentalk-HTTPS for more details (Opentalk-Web could also be a useful example although it's not used by Seaside).

You may also be interested in the new development that is coming out with VW7.9 which allows taking advantage of external cryptographic primitives and provides new and updated SSL/TLS support.

HTH,

Martin

I am doing a similar thing. I think the Cincom doc "Security Guide" is
a good start. It helped me get started but I am still struggling (for now).

Re: VW + Seaside + HTTPS

I would recommend against trying to make VisualWorks' endpoint use SSL.
Instead, offload it to a proxy'ing web server like Apache or nginx or a
dedicated load balancer, i.e. Elastic Load Balancer etc.
