SSL Integration Home
From Ingres Community Wiki
Ingres needs a protocol such as SSL to communicate between the application and the DBMS. This would enable the messages between the client and server to be encrypted. This feature is desirable in an environment where the application runs outside a customer's firewall, so the messages between the application and DBMS should be protected by encryption. Actually, any time a customer feels that the messages between the application and the DBMS should be protected due to the sensitive nature of the data are scenarios where SSL would be beneficial.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) supercedes and extends SSL and is not interoperable. This project would need to determine whether SSL and/or TLS should be implemented (not clear at this point) by Ingres.
Ingres would need to implement SSL between the DAS (Data Access Server) and its clients (JDBC driver and .Net driver) as well as between Ingres/Net processes.
