password authentication vs ssl/tls client authentication?
Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2008 2:38 am
Hi,
I'm evaluating Viscosity and trying to set it up so that I can connect to our company's server.
My knowledge about networking is rather limited, so I'm struggling... My system admin told me that we use password authentication and not SSL/TLS client authentication. Although in the networks tab of Viscosity it is possible to enable "use username/password authentication", I cannot find a way to get rid of this: "Options error: Parameter tls_remote can only be specified in TLS-mode, i.e. where --tls-server or --tls-client is also specified."
No matter what I set in the Certificates panel, I get this or a similar error. I used the "Satic Key" type with a "secret.key" file, because the other two options are called SSL/TLS which we do not use.
But the error message suggests that Viscosity is trying to use TLS. How can I use password authentication only?
Or to simply put: what am I doing wrong?
Please help!
