How to create a secure (HTTPS) OS X webserver
Don't most browsers choke on self-signed certificates?
How to create a secure (HTTPS) OS X webserver
I can only speak for Safari on OS X and Internet Explorer on XP: they don't exactly "choke" as much as "hiccough". On a per-session basis, I get prompted with a warning message about the certs, but once I accept this, I can load pages just fine.

Yes, it is sent over the encrypted link, so it isn't clear-text. Digest authentication is flawed, anyway, so you really need SSL even when you use it.

No. Most offer you the option of importing the cert into your personal store. With IE, simply choose "View Certificate" when the warning pops up, there's an "Install Certificate" option within there. For Mozilla, it'll ask if you always want to accept that certificate. IIRC, Safari works similarly. The only time you should ever have a problem again is when the cert changes, which should only be when you change it....or someone else... ;-) |
