konakartadmin: ssl required?

[Burz]

I believe this is an installation issue, because its mainly impacted by the hosting provider's Tomcat setup:

Is HTTPS required to access the konakartadmin application? I got the impression that it is. However I have seen my associate access it via http://host:8780 which I thought was impossible.

Now that we are starting to setup kona on a hosting provider under a low-cost shared account, it becomes an important issue among others: Does the host allow multiple app dirs? Are they willing to enable ssl/port 8443 and install certs into Tomcat?

Hi Burz,

I don't know of a problem with the KonaKart installation.  Please explain what you mean.

Is HTTPS required to access the konakartadmin application? I got the impression that it is. However I have seen my associate access it via http://host:8780 which I thought was impossible.

Both are possible, out of the box.

These are good questions but they're really for your hosting company.
