AW: OT: update RDS SSL/TSL certificates at aws

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Thank you Matthias for your experience.

I didn't tested yet, but I hope I won't run into an SSL verification error. And actually I think in my case the SSL change on the db server won't affect my LC programs at all, because there is PHP in between, which connects to the db.

Thanks
Tiemo

Betreff: Re: OT: update RDS SSL/TSL certificates at aws

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
