Hi!

I'm going to publish a access database on the Internet using ASP. Since this database is not for everyone I wondered: Is it possible to program this so it uses the https protocol instead of the http protocol.

Regards from a person thet wants to learn more about "protocol programming"
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
1) Do you really want to use an Access database? (Not expecting much traffic I hope.)

2) https is configured on the web server (IIS for example)

3) Making pages accessible only by https will (on its own) do nothing to protect your data.

You probably need to implement a software solution to protect your data.

I think your vision and your capacities are not yet aligned. :wink:

No, I'm not expecting much trafic, and there is not going to bee more than 6 tables in the database. So it does not need the speed of a MySQL database for example. I would say not more than two users at the same time.

>2) https is configured on the web server(IIS for example)

Thanx thats what I wanted to know, if it was programmed in the application or configured on the webserver.

>3) Making pages accessible only by https >will (on its own) do nothing to protect >your data.
No but it will prevent people form tapping inforation going across the Internet (I thought).

OK

I'll be the first to admit that I have a lot to learn here.
My problemn is that I'm going to make a web-based projectmanagementsystem for a firm and access+asp seemed fine. Pretty easy to learn since I have a little bit experience in VBA progrmming. The other alternative our group have, is to create a MySQL database+java/PHP application. Since none of us knows a lot java and MySQL, we would rather prefer the access solution even tough the security is worse.
