HI folks,

We're looking at securing the communication channels used in .NET remoting, namely the tcp channel. Do you know if it's possible to configure the .NET Remoting Framework to use PowerTCP SSL as a transport, or else wrap the standard tcp transport with SSL.

Kind Regards
Noel

By the way, Ireland is not available in your list of countries (Are we that small?), that's why you see an location of Dublin, England and not Dublin, Ireland.

Maybe you could get that looked at?

Regarding the omission of Ireland, I apologize. I will add Ireland to the list of countries next time we rebuild the forum.

Regarding the use of SSL in remoting, unfortunately my knowledge is limited on that subject. Do you have access to a stream with Framework object? You might be able to use that to construct one of our SSL stream objects, then use that to communicate.

Hi Tony, Thanks for the reply. The .NET Remoting Framework using various transport channles (like HTTP & TCP), using it own native implementation of those for communications (the implementations are provided in the .NET framework).
It is possible in .NET Remoting to replace those transport channles with custom channels. I was wondering if anyone in Dart had looked at the feasibility of using PowerTCP and SLL to provide secure communications for .NET remoting. Currently the only way to get secure remoting is to host remoted objects in IIS and use HTTPS as the transport. We don't want to have to put IIS as a requirement for our products but we would like them to be secure.

Unfortunately no one here has tried to do what you are doing so I wouldn't have any more info.

If this is something you need to do and can't figure out, you can contact David Harry (sales@dart.com) to discuss consulting services.
