Re: [Bacula-devel] Network Encryption

[Kern S. <ke...@si...>]

Hello,

To get Bacula to use SSL will probably require modification
of the following files in <bacula-source>/src/lib: bsock.h,
bnet.c, and bnet_server.c  So the answer to your question
is yes (if you include bnet_server.c).  The same routines
are used by Windows clients, so any changes will apply there
as well.

To really integrate SSL correctly, the configuration file for
each daemon will need to be changed in order to add a user
definable directory where SSL should look for the certificates.

If you do decide to work on this and you are going to contribute
the code, please start with the current code in the CVS (or
at least bacula-1.30-24Apr03.tar.gz on SourceForge).  

You will probably also want to take a quick look at
at least the first few chapters of the Internals documentation
at:

  http://www.bacula.org/html-manual/internals.html

Best regards,

Kern
