Question

Web Services with SSL

I am currently connecting to a Web Service (wsdl) with no problems over HTTP.  However as soon as I try to connect over HTTPS, my WebSerrvice object queues up the call and sits there forever.  What configuration needs to be done in FMS2 to allow outbound WebService calls to be made using SSL?

Thank you,

Dan

    Dan,

    Did you ever get this to work, I am currently experiencing the same problem and have been unable to get an answer to this issue.

    Hi John,

    I never received a reply, nor found a way to make it work myself. Unfortunately, I still do not know if it is feasible or not. In the end I was left with 3 options:

    1) Implement an encryption algorithm (like Rijndael which is easy to find an implementation of in javascript.) Downside was that it was a bit slow and requred the webservices to also implement it.

    2) Set up a local machine webserver proxy. FMS could call its web services and it could support SSL.

    3) Get rid of web services all together. We had a C# app that served up the web services and were able to add another communication layer to support Flourine FX. Now all communication goes over RTMPS. We chose this last option for ease of implementation and future flexibility.

    If you are trying to connect to an already established SSL web service, I suppose the only viable option would be #2

    Good luck.

    Dan,

    Thanks for the reply. Like you I never did get an answer. Even tried to buy single incident support from Adobe to see if they had an answer and after being on the phone with them all day I determined that even though their website says you can buy single incident support for FMS I don't think you can, at least no one at Adobe knows how to.

    I think that we will look into one of the options you mentioned. I was leaning towards the idea of having to do some kind of work around with another technology that would allow for communication over ssl.

    Glad to hear you were at least able to find something that worked for you.
