tendouser Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Is there anything to worry if I see no SSL warning in my browser's address bar when I am in the logging credentials form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroNiX Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 What do you mean, "no warning"?? You shouldn't get a warning. If you do something is set up wrong, or the cert is self-signed or invalid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tendouser Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 I mean I don't see the SSL green status showing that there is a valid certificate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroNiX Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Is this a site you are creating or some other site you are visiting? If it's one you are creating, you should check if SSL is enabled and if not, redirect to the SSL version of the page (https://) You can google "php detect ssl" for some ways how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tendouser Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 It is a forum site I created an account! I am just a simple user! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroNiX Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Well, I'd be concerned about a site that didn't use, or enforce, SSL on a login page or any other page with sensitive information. It means it's not being encrypted and the data can be sniffed by any of the number of servers that the request is being passed through (it doesn't just go from your PC straight to the end site...it usually passes through many servers on the way).

Zane Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 You have to forward port 80 to 443; the secure port. Follow this tutorial http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Https Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetKongen Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I would not worry, unless you are at a checkout page where you are typing in paymentcard info. If this is the case you should always have a little lock in the adress bar. A green part is not absolutly nessesary, a lock is enought to be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
