SSL
Another non-eOS blog, but this has wasted some of my time this week and thought it might be useful (at least to me in 3 months time!)
In today’s internet world, creating and using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate (cert) should be much easier. Ok, it’s actually a lot easier than it used to be a few years ago, but it’s probably still beyond most people running a simple web site/server (including me!)
I first got interested in SSL when I started using ownCloud and initially used a self-signed cert. These are great for testing stuff out but invariably will generate error messages when accessing the sites through most browsers. If you have complete control over the machine, you can trust the self-signed cert, but where you don’t it’s a case of ignoring the errors which become a pain every time you go there.
