AmiSSL under WinUAE

[Holley]

Does anyone know a way to get AmiSSL working, at the mo it tries to refer to AmiTCP for verification (which obviously isn't there).

It's nothing that can't be worked around, but it's bugging me :-(

Hum,
why not just install AmiTCP?




I personally use miami, , but it`ll work with any TCP/IP stack.


But here`s a link

[Holley]

I'm using the BSD socket emulation, so IP just works on a passthrough (which AmiSSL is unaware of).  I figured I could try installing a TCP stack and bodge/fool it, but they all seem to look for a Sana2 device :-(

Well, SnoopDOS says it tries to open AmiTCP:libs/usergroup.library. This certainly isn't present on WinUAE, but it happily runs without it. So just add an Assign AmiTCP: RAM: to your user-startup and you'll be fine.

Installing AmiTCP (without actually configuring it) will cure it, too, but it is much of an overkill just to get the assign into your startup script.

However you might want to install some programs from AmiTCP:bin like ping, traceroute and netstat and you might need the INet-Handler (TCP: device) for some programs. So installing AmiTCP (or Genesis) might not be a bad idea after all.

Thanks Thomas :-) (maybe time to change your handle to 'The Opus of Emulation' :-D)

:juggler: Well, usually I am called a walking library. :-D

[Holley]

Yeah, I was just trying to be more dramatic :-D

Assigning AmiSSL hasn't helped as it's looking for it to do something, rather than just checking it exists.  I recon this might be a non-starter, as the BSD socket emulation is unknown to anything within UAE.

Only thing would be if someone knows AmiSSL configuration well enough to make it become UAE-aware (if you get what I mean).

Like I said, nothing that can't be worked around :-)

[blobrana]

Hum,
well i`ve got it installed in my win machine



What kind of modem have you?

i managed to access the modem through com port# , before i started using the socket emulation...


Here`s my  user startup...

copy > NIL: SYS:S/RAM.info TO RAM:Disk.info                                                  ; added by MagicWB
;BEGIN Genesis
assign AmiTCP: "WORKBENCH3.1:Net/Genesis"
;END Genesis

[Holley]

This is running through BSD Socket emulation, which is a passthrough to Windows networking.  If I try Genesis it asks for either a modem or Sana2 network device - using a modem you're essentially using the serial port 'raw' so you have a proper Amiga internet connection, whereas the BSD sockets don't really exist :-(

I recon this might be a non-starter, as the BSD socket emulation is unknown to anything within UAE.

I don't fully understand this sentence, but if you call me a beginner, you are wrong. I won't ever give an advice which I didn't try myself before.

AmiSSL runs well on WinUAE. It asks for AmiTCP, yes, but if you click on Cancel it continues as normal without problems. So assigning AmiTCP to an empty directory will remove the requester.

You can as well install Genesis or AmiTCP, so AmiSSL really finds what it is looking for. Of course you cannot configure it when using bsdsocker emulation. Just install it and leave it alone.

I can think of another reason why it does not work for you: AmiSSL V2 only works with IBrowse. If you want to use AWeb, you have to use AmiSSL V1.

Bye,

Hi Thomas, that sentence means that it might not be possible with current software (nothing to do with your experience, lol :-D).  I have AmiSSL 1 installed, when I go to a secure site (with or without an assign) it asks for AmiTCP in an endless loop, occationally saying the server could not be verified (then back to the loop).

Maybe the site I try has a newer kind of security that SSL 1 doesn't understand or something ...

[Thomas]

Then you did something wrong. It cannot ask you for AmiTCP, if you have an assign for AmiTCP. AmiTCP, not AmiSSL (AmiSSL is already assign by the installation. Don't change this).

I just tried it again: a fresh OS3.1 install, with AWeb and AmiSSL V1. When opening a https page, AmiSSL asks for AmiTCP once for each file downloaded. If AmiTCP is assigned to RAM:, it no longer asks but works without problems.

Bye,
Thomas

Hum,
And i`ll add that AmiSSL 2.2 works with ibrowse 2.3...

[Holley]

ok, thanks guys :-)

I think it might be an old file floating around from when I tried to put on SSL 2, I've checked the Assign entries for both AmiTCP and AmiSSL, and they look ok ... anyone know if SSL2 puts something into C or Libs or somewhere that 1 wouldn't have overwritten (I just removed the drawer and assign to remove it before).
