HDR using encryption with CSM ??
rvb set up an HDR pair and asked whether Informix CSM encryption could protect replication; it failed with HDR cannot connect over a CSM connection on 9.40. Madison Pruet said CSM is half duplex and HDR full duplex, advised separating the HDR port using s=6, but later confirmed HDR cannot use encryption. s=6 got HDR working only without CSM.

I set up a HDR pair of two servers.
The replication is in clear text. Is it possible to use encryption with the
Informix CSM methods for this HA pair.
My first test failed with :
12:25:34 HDR can not connect to <paired server> over a CSM connection
CSM is half duplexed. HDR is fully duplexed.
You will need to seperate the port used by HDR from the normal client
activity.
See the release notes for the usage of option s=6 for details on how to do
this.

Madison,
I isolated HDR communication with option s=6 as follows:
lvv_prod_sec onsoctcp <servername> lvv_prod_sec s=6
and HDR works. But using CSM like
lvv_prod_sec onsoctcp <servername> lvv_prod_sec s=6 csm=(ENCCSM)
still gives
HDR can not connect to lvv_prod_sec over a CSM connection
Am I still missing something ??
BTW I am using 9.40 HC3

HDR is using full duplex protocol. The CSM is using half duplex. That
means that HDR can not be using encryption.
