Re: ssl and odbc standar driver

The problem was ODBC driver version :(
I update my driver from version 7.03.01 to 8.01.02 and it's working :)

Documentation say:
"If verification of client certificates is required, place the certificates
of the CA(s) you wish to check for in the file root.crt in the data
directory. When present, a client certificate will be requested from the
client during SSL connection startup, and it must have been signed by one of
the certificates present in root.crt. Certificate Revocation List (CRL)
entries are also checked if the file root.crl exists.
When the root.crt file is not present, client certificates will not be
requested or checked. In this mode, SSL provides communication security but
not authentication"

I am working without root.crt and root.crl
Now communication is security but not the authentication.
I will try to create certificates in the cliente and root.crt and
root.crl on the server.

I have both, windows and linux client and my servers are linux.
