OT: update RDS SSL/TSL certificates at aws

[Matthias Rebbe]

Tiemo,

i have no experiences with AWS. But what i can say is, that when changing an SSL certificate on a server  there should no changes be required in the frontend application created with LC. At least here i did not encounter any problems when i switched from unsecure to secure connections or when a server certificate was renewed / replaced.

What i´ve encountered in one case was that   i´ve received an SSL verification error. I think it was tsnet/curl error 48.

As a workaround  i used  tsNetVerifySSLPeer false   to disable verification.


Regards,
Matthias
