Do not do this.
No worries. I already went the SecureTransport route. I was going to
need a SSL server eventually, anyway. It was a bit of pain to work with
the semi-blocking nature of SSLRead/Write IO funcs, but that's out of
the way.
I have a couple of questions about SSL now:
1. SSLSetCertificates takes an array of certificates whose first item
must be an Identity cert. I only understand the basics of SSL, and what
I've read (netscape docs) indicates that only one certificate is used.
A second certificate would be one from a trusted authority? Can there
be more than two?
2. Is there a standard (or semi-standard) place to store/choose
certificates? Right now I'm using the keychain.
3. From what I understand certificates are bound to a host, so that
when you create the certificate, it can only be used on a machine whose
host name is the same as that in the certificate. How do you deal with
this on a machine in a dhcp environment and HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- ?
Thanks,
