Many thanks for your prompt and informative reply. I, sad to say,
have limited practical experience with Openssl or Ruby from a
programming perspective. So if my questions seem odd please forbear
with me.
There is a very tight limit to how far I can depart from a stock
CentOS4 install on the project server. I am already condemned to
maintaining postgresql-8.0.2 and ruby-1.8.2 vice CentOS4 bundled pg-
7.4.8 and ruby-1.6.7. If I change Openssl as well then I fear that
the cascading effect of dependencies will make the endeavour
impossible.
What are the implications of this one issue with respect to writing
a web based database business application using rails? Under what
circumstances would I need to store an X509 certificate as part of
the application (which is an accounting, customs duties, taxation,
and traffic system). Or do I fundamentally misunderstand the
situation?
Regards,
Jim
