Example

The following example sets up RSA encryption for an HTTPS protocol. This requires setup on the server and client. Each command must be written on one line.

On the server, the implementation is:

mlsrv11 
   -c "dsn=SQL Anywhere 11 Demo;uid=DBA;pwd=sql" 
   -x https(
     port=9999;
     identity=c:\sa10\bin32\rsaserver.id;
     identity_password=test)

On a SQL Anywhere client, the implementation is:

dbmlsync 
   -c "dsn=mydb;uid=DBA;pwd=sql" 
   -e "ctp=https;
       adr='port=9999;
         trusted_certificates=c:\sa10\bin32\rsaroot.crt;
         certificate_name=RSA Server'"

On an UltraLite client, the implementation is:

    info.stream = "https";
    info.stream_parms = TEXT(
      "port=9999;
       trusted_certificates=\sa10\bin32\rsaroot.crt;
       certificate_name=RSA Server");
