"Max" | Forgive me my ignorance, it's a quite simple question:
can an external webapp (via internet) obtain the access to my dbisam 4.29b2 local database (on a static ip address pc) via ODBC, launch some queries and obtain results? I'm using both password protected tables and a custom engine signatures. How to? Greetings Max |

Chris Holland SEC Solutions Ltd. Team Elevate | Hi Max,
It will depend upon whether you can install the DBISAM ODBC Driver on the web server. This is fine if you are hosting your own web server but most hosting companies will not let you install 3rd part drivers. I overcame this problem by using a VPS to host my web site (and my data) Chris Holland [Team Elevate] On 08/02/2010 11:04, Max wrote: > Forgive me my ignorance, it's a quite simple question: > > can an external webapp (via internet) obtain the access to my dbisam > 4.29b2 local database (on a static ip address pc) via ODBC, launch some > queries and obtain results? > I'm using both password protected tables and a custom engine signatures. > > How to? > > Greetings > Max -- |

In my case a customer should query his local database (dbisam 4.29b2, normally used from a local application) from remote, through a php script on a linux server. Ideally, the php script should connect from remote to the odbc driver (installed on the windows machine, with static ip), query the database and obtain the results, keeping in mind that tables are encrypted and protected with a custom engine signature. My questions: 1) is it viable such a scenario? 2) has the ODBC driver be reconfigured/recompiled to support encryption/custom signature? Thanks Max |

As of 4.28 and higher, we now include a utility called the ODBC Driver Configuration Utility (dbodbccfg.exe) in the \utils subdirectory of the DBISAM ODBC Driver installation directory that allows you to configure the driver to use custom configurations with file extensions, etc. I can see about modifying the driver and the utility to add support for custom signatures and encryption passwords, thus saving you from having to recompile the driver. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
