Hello,

I would like to use slime as a debugger for an application created from lispworks. Does anyone already do that but with a password protection? To use the debugger (or any other slime), one will have to enter a password to be connected to the application. I don't want to open a port on this application without any protection.

Remote (as in through unsecure networks not under your control) communication is usually done through SSH tunnels.

Hi Fabien,

If I understand your question correctly,do you want a secure slime connection?

slime will listen default on 127.0.0.1, and you can connect it remotely by a ssh tunnel like this:

ssh -l username -L 4005:localhost:4005 slime-host

So no extra port is needed to connect to your slime.

Hope it helpful.
