4/16 What do you have to do to have a web page with a secure
connection? I assume there must be a way for a CGI script to
interact with the server to send the info. How would it work on
Soda?
\_ SSL uses RSA, which means it costs money.
\_ SSL uses RSA, which means it costs money, which means no SSL on Soda
\_ ask root to install stronghold or apache-ssl
\_ apache-ssl is illegal in the us
\_ donate $175 for a server certificate or con sameer into
donating one or it's worthless
\_ sameer/C2 has offered stronghold to us in the past. We'd still need
to fork over $$ for a certificate, but that wouldn't be too bad.
Supposedly they're in the ~100/year range from thawte.
\_ stronghold is crap. c2 support is a joke.
\_ Think Netscape or M$oft will give us a similar product
that is 'supported' on freebsd? Compared to the
alternatives, C2 RULES!
\_ hell, if it even is produced, let alone supported
\_ And why hasnt the CSUA taken sameer up on this offer?
\_ need for a certificate, and/or excessive slack.
\_ Lack of real need.
\_ Whaddya mean, lack of real need? If soda supported SSL,
then safari could do a pay-for-porn Web site, taking
credit card numbers right there on the spot. The CSUA
could take 5-10% off the top . . . pay for the cert.,
plus a year-round fundraiser for the hardware fund.
\_ Yup. Like I said, "Lack of real need". Besides,
aren't you a member of the FPF?
\_ C2 rewls over all of you
\_ Hey, ast least they have Freebsd support. What are our
other secure-server options, and are they any better?
\_ I dont know too much about secure servers, what do they do for you
that is so great?
\_ Let you safely sell porn to net.people without fear of
their CC#s getting snooped. |
