I was not speaking abou security. That's something that need a lot of work.jwenting wrote:installing the certificate is often the least of the problems in making a secure site.
You'll need to install software as well (webcache etc.). in order to make things work correctly, maybe hardware too.
And then there's all that to be configured.
Often the cost of the certificate is but a drop in the ocean.
I only said that, considering only the need of an SSL encryption, would be pretty easy to buy a certificate or, if you don't want to buy it, just generate and use it. You only need apache, openssl and a little time to do that.
Nothing that could be considered secure in a general sense, but at least we could get the SSL encryption working instead of the actual extrernal access to the web-apps.
