Using SSL

[kernoweb]

Hi

I'm working on a project where we need to use SSL but I'm struggling to find any info. I did a search of the docs and found nothing, and thre doesn't appear to be any mention in "Actionscript for multiplayer games and virtual worlds".

Can someone please point me in the right direction to find the info I need to get set up for ssl use?

Many thanks

Billy

SSL is only needed for production ES5s. I assume that's why you are asking. The ideal way to do it is to request a certificate from a trusted authority for your ES5, then use ES Admin's Server Management - Upload Certificate to install that cert. After doing that, you edit server/config/Configuration.xml to turn SSL on, and restart ES5. You will need to edit your ES Admin connection settings to turn SSL on after the ES5 is restarted. I haven't experimented with SSL and the HTML version, just the AIR app.

If you want to use the certificate that comes with ES5, it does work but it is far less secure. Macs only have to agree to accept the cert when their ES Admin connects, but Windows might drive you bats unless the cert is installed into Windows as from a trusted authority (which it isn't because it's the one that came with ES5).
