DBLIB with SSL

Hi All,
We have a SQL Server 2000 setup with a Certificate for
Server Side Encryption and this works fine with ADO
connections from a C++ desktop app. Connects fine and we
have verified encryption with MS Network Monitor. Another
C++ desktop app built with DBLIB will not connect and
dbopen() quietly fails. I know MS states that DBLIB is
not being "extended" but I believe that it is still
classified as "supported".
Are thre any fundamental reasons why DBLIB doesn't seem to
work with SSL or am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
DougHi Doug,
Unfortunately, that is a bug with dblib. I filed it sometime ago and it
has not been fixed.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply... albeit bad news :-) I know that
you can't commit, but in light of the "not extending"
status of dblib, got any idea what the chances might be of
the bug being fixed? I really, really, really promise
that I won't try to hold you to it :-))
Thanks again,
Doug

rolling. You'll also need a Strong Business case, why you need it fixed.
The bug number is 94129, opened by me. Since it is a bug, you shouldn't be
charged for opening the case.
Hope this helps,
