Does ledgersmb support SSL connection ?

Submitted by Chris Travers on

Q: How could I set it up ledgersmb to support SSL connection?

SSL support on Apache is handled by configuring Apache. For having LedgerSMB connect to PostgreSQL using SSL, you can set the PGSSLMODE environment variable to 'require' in the ledgersmb.conf. Note that by default, LedgerSMB will try to connect to PostgreSQL via SSL and fall back to unsecured connections if this is not available.

We highly recommend using SSL for any access to LedgerSMB over the network.

Why is LedgerSMB PostgreSQL-only?

Submitted by Chris Travers on

Adding support for other database management systems would require that the database logic be coded to the least common denominator. We have decided that we want to eventually allow add-ons in different languages, and thus the database becomes the only point where we can enforce accounting logic consistantly across all parts of the application. Porting and maintaining such logic across database systems is not feasible for this project.

Additionally PostgreSQL is an outstanding RDBMS and we have no desire to move from it.
