We’re looking at splitting our environment into 2 servers to improve performance. If we have SSL on the App Server, I’m assuming to have true security, we also have to have a certificate on our DB Server?
I would assume the pipe between the Servoy App Server and the MySQL server is not encrypted.
Am I missing something?
Hi Chico,
The SSL is setup in Servoy Server is for Servoy Client communications only. It doesn’t mean you also have to use SSL between Servoy server and the database server.
For instance if the 2 servers are in the same rack they could be directly connected to each other over a second ethernet port then this would be their private (fast!) little netwerk so SSL would then not be a necessity.
But if you are connecting over a public network and want to use SSL then the MySQL server does indeed need a certificate. Be it self-signed or purchased.
Hope this helps.
