7.5.13 What SSL implementations are known to [not] interoperate?

(January, 1999)⁵³ : We were just trying to get a VB for Java 3.2 SSL server to work with an Orbix 2.3c SSL client. We found that the IOR produced by the VB server contains 1 profile, per the 1.1 IIOP spec. Fortunately, the Orbix client is able to interpret this correctly, and invoke operations on a CORBA object in the VB server. However, when the reverse configuration is attempted, the Orbix server produces a 2-profile IOR - 1.0 IIOP spec compatible - and the VB client cannot interpret it correctly to set up the SSL connection. Iona noted that their 3.3 release will support both 1.0 and 1.1 IIOP specifications.

(January, 1999)⁵⁴ : I think Jishnu [Mukerji] told me at one point that SSL wasn't in IIOP 1.0 anyway. So the SSL "Component" made into a profile it is just an interpretation to get get it to work. What should be support[ed] is the 1.1 IIOP specification. However, this still needs work. Hopefully that will be cleared up with submissions to the new CSIv2 RFP.
