    Hello. I have Windows 10 and I was interested in configuring a CouchDB server for Windows 10 to sync with TapForms5 in my iPhone and iPad.
    However I don’t know how to make CouchDB secure with SSL/https.
    I tried to follow the CouchDB tutorial from TapForms but that one is for Mac and I eventually got stuck on certificates generation/selfsigning.
    Do you have a tutorial for setting up in Windows 10? It would be fantastic to have this documentation for Windows Users.

    Thanks very much for your app!

    Hi Y,

    I’m very sorry but I don’t even have a Windows computer, so I don’t have a clue how to setup CouchDB for SSL on Windows. I think you’re going to have to do some research on some CouchDB forums.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    Hi Brendan,

    What if I encrypt the database and then sync via a simple HTTP connection to CouchDB? Would this be safe to do? Does TapForms sync encrypted the contents, or it just encrypts locally and sync unencrypted copies?

    Thanks!

    When Tap Forms syncs, it uses an SSL connection (if you set that up on CouchDB), but then the data at rest on the sync server is not encrypted. It’s encrypted locally in your copies of the database if you enable that.
