Encryption and LiveCode Server?

[keithglong]

Hi All,

I just installed LiveCode Server under MAMP on my Mac. I noticed that the encrypt command does not work. (It looks my installation is not accessing a required library? libssl? Or what?) Is this standard? How can we enable encryption/security within a self-installation of LiveCode Server? Maybe this is common information, but I am just now getting into utilizing LiveCode Server.

Thanks,

- Boo

It works for me running on the builtin Apache on my Mac with 7.0.1-rc-4 community edition.

Code: Select all

<?lc

put the version & "</br>"

encrypt "text" using "aes256" with "password"
put it & "</br>"
decrypt it using "aes256" with "password"
put it & "</br>"

?>

I get this displayed in the browser:

Code: Select all

7.0.1-rc-4

Hi Boo,

There is a bug with commercial server that results in encryption not working in 7.0. There is a bug report on this here-

Until this is fixed, I would suggest using 7.0 community as Peter has suggested.

Kind Regards,

Hi Neil,

I am actually the one who filed that bug report, but thanks for the followup. In the meantime, I am using the Community version (per another thread in the Commercial forum).
