All the best

Hi Caroline,

Thank you for posting this. We haven’t upgraded yet so can’t offer any first-hand knowledge but I think you will need to install stunnel on the PCs the same as for the self-check machines. The documentation is very sparse on the SDA and it seems they focused on using stunnel with SIP2 connections more. I think you’ll have to get advice from Innovative to be sure. Let us know what you find out.

Regarding using the web version we have been testing it and our thoughts are that it can be used for most teams but as it does not support multi-window mode it will be a real pain for our acquisitions/cataloguing staff who import or overlay records.

Cheers,

Ed

Subject: Sierra 4.1 Security & Stunnel

Hi all

We have enabled stunnel with our Bibliotheca kiosks for SIP2 communications and it seems to be working and encrypting. It took a couple of calls with the helpdesk and probably about a week to get the port 4550 actually opened.

I have also got the SDA stunnel solution enabled:

“Innovative can configure the Sierra Desktop Application to use stunnel for full strength encrypted communications with Sierra App server rather than simpler built-in encryption that is part of the SDA's native communication.  Enabling secure communications requires TCP port 64100 to be open between all SDA locations and the Sierra App server”

but have been unable to test it yet (I have looked at the traffic with Wireshark and haven’t discovered anything alarming) but…

When looking at this with our Cyber Security Manager, he thought we would require stunnel on our PC’s as well for this to work but there are no instructions to say this is required.

Can anyone explain how the SDA configuration works? Do I need install stunnel on all our staff PC’s for this (in which case I’ll probably move to the web version!)?

I have a call open with the helpdesk but if anyone has any expertise to share it would be welcome!

All the best
Caroline
