Ultima Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 You can use it over HTTPS with stunnel, which should be more "secure" than the default HTTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khanmoce Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hello,I followed all the steps and it seems to be working but there is a small problem.When Im logging in, there is a pop up saying that the certificate cannot be trusted and is not in the Trusted store list.The pop up also specifies that the certificate is expired in 2000. Can you please clarify that. Is this really secure or is this just making my system more weak and appealing to outsiders.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 http://www.stunnel.org/faq/certs.htmlHaving an old certificate shouldn't make things any less secure. The only reason the browser complains is because it's unsure whether the certificate itself can be trusted (due to its age, and probably lack of an official certificate authority's confirmation of its trustworthiness).

khanmoce Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thanks for the quick response.I hope you had a great new year.After following your link, i went to create my certicate on the stunnel website server. The page strongly advises the public to create their own key in their trusted machine...http://www.stunnel.org/pem/Now should I just create the key from their anyway or is their an alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 If you have no other way to create the file, then that's your only solution. As the page suggests, you can't really trust anyone else, including ourselves here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
