adding SSL to microchip Generic TCP server application

Question

Hi,

Has anybody upgraded the code of generic tcp server application provided by Microchip to SSL?

I added new listener port to existing server socket. But then also its not TCPPutIsReady state. When I tried to connect through ssh client Tera Term its asking for username and password. But does it required for client to provide username and password?

I a bit new to SSL. So please let me know the steps to connect to any ssl server using Tera Term.

Another doubt is that can i use a TCP server socket without using http or ftp or telnet session?

Answer 1

There is a general TCP server example in the microchip TCP/IP stack package.

While I don't have experience with SSL and Microchip, I suspect you are confusing several things

• ssl and ssh (or do you use teraterm in tunnel mode?)
• The various protocols for SSL. TLS is SSH/Lv3, and that is something that underpowered microcontrollers can't do. try to get SSLv1 working first

Answer 2

The latest version of the TCP/IP Stack (v5.2b) from Microchip has built in support for SSL.
