SSLproxy

    	Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has ported SSLproxy to NetWare; 
it uses text files for the certificates, and seems to be quite a small 
program:

    	    	ftp://ftp.obdev.at/pub/Products/sslproxy/

    	Thanks in advance.

    	I need to have my SSL certificates in ASCII text files.  Storing them 
in NDS/eDirectory has proven unreliable to me because they're not portable 
to other trees, plus I've had too many bad experiences with getting caught 
in snags where the CA stops functioning properly (not to mention the kludge 
in the earlier days where one had to use a combination of ConsoleOne and 
NetWare Administator to accomplish things).  At least with ASCII text files 
everything is fine.

    	So far I haven't seen a "mod_ssl" port to NetWare, just
"mod_nwssl" 
which requires that the certificate be in the Directory, rather than the 
file system.  This is one of the other reasons I've been looking at using 
FreeBSD for my upcoming projects (I really just need PostgreSQL, which is 
actually coming along nicely by the looks of things, ImageMagick, and 
"mod_ssl" in order to keep my projects running on NetWare).

then look here:

I guess that solves all your problems...; I'm using it for 3 months now 
instead of nwssl without issue....

    	That's excellent!  Thank you!  It's just what I need.  I'll be testing 
it shortly, but I'm sure it will work because it's on your web site.  =)

    	Now all I need is ImageMagick on NetWare (there seem to be others that 
could use it too), with the usual PERL module access to it (PHP users would 
probably like access to it too), and PostgreSQL (which is currently making 
great progress, so I'm not worried about it).

    	I'm finding that FreeBSD is not nearly as easy to learn as NetWare 
was, and so my schedules have been pushed back a bit.  I'd still really 
like to do everything on the NetWare OS because I'm very familiar with it 
(plus I also want to brag to people that "I did it with NetWare, even 
though the so-called experts claim NetWare isn't capable of it" -- that's 
what these same "experts" said about using NetWare to host web sites,
and I 
sure proved them wrong when I had 500 internet domains served on a single 
NetWare box running Oracle, Apache & PERL, NAMED.NLM, NWFTPD.NLM, Java-
based NNTP servers, eMail, etc., and to top it off it served web pages 
faster than other web servers which even had faster CPUs and more RAM).
