Developer 2000 on the web

[roll]

Hi, I am thinking to migrate some aplications in Developer 2000 to the web.<br>
<br>
What about security?<br>
<br>
Oracle say that all data send is encrypted before getting to the server. Its that true?.<br>
<br>
Exists other problems that I have to consider?.<br>
<br>

I'm just about to start a project which involves migrating from Dev 2k -&gt; web (actually our starting point is Oracle Case but we will be developing using Des 2k)<br>
<br>
Oracle tell me that *all* GUI forms can be converted to the web and I haven't found anything to contradict that; the conversion process seems to be quite slick.<br>
<br>
If Oracle say it's encrypted - it probably is &lt;smile&gt;<br>
<br>
Let us know how you get on.<br>
<br>
Mike

Thank's Mike.<br>
<br>
I think during the process of convertion new points will appear.<br>
<br>
Roll.

I have several GUI forms that I would like to migrate to a browser form, what is the best way to pursue this migration? Has anyone actually converted existing developer forms to browser forms?<br>
<br>

have Oracle say in which way is it encrypted ?<br>
<br>
I come from web development background.<br>
And normally for encryption, we use SSL<br>
or maybe some kind of DLL on the client machine <br>
that interface with the client to encrypt.<br>
<br>
I am not about to put all my faith in whatever<br>
Oracle said yet.<br>
<br>
The main reason is Oracle is marketing driven.<br>
They are not so much different from MS.<br>
But they do have better product especially the<br>
database.<br>
<br>
I guess what is important in the migration is<br>
to understand what it means to have your<br>
application running via web browser.<br>
The implication, security concerns....<br>
and measures to take...<br>
<br>
Treat it like a full-fledge project<br>
with all the thinking involving the <br>
whole system behind... not<br>
just conversion alone...

HI<br>
<br>
This is that Oracle documentation says about encryption:<br>
<br>
Data passed between the database, the Forms Server, and the Forms Client is automatically encrypted<br>
before-and decrypted after-transmission by the following protocols: <br>
<br>
RSA RC4 40-bit encryption (for transmissions between the Forms Client and the Forms Server) <br>
SQL*Net SNS/ANO (for transmissions between the Forms Server and the database server) <br>
<br>
Note: Encryption is provided by default, but can be disabled.

I believe Form Client referes to 'traditional'<br>
client interface rather than that of a web browser.<br>
