Hi, i'm finishing my site with KonaKart, now I'm trying to use HTTPS.
I saw the FAQ section and I changed the options to enable HTTPS (http://www.konakart.com/configurationfaq.php#SSL).
When I try to log in I can see the certificate, but it expired months ago. I wonder if somebody could explain how to change that certificate and put another one with my info.
Regards
David
Hi David,
You can find lots of guides on the web for this eg. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.0-doc/ssl-howto.html
I expect you might want to buy a certificate (?)
Good news that you're close to finishing your site! Please send us a link!
Regards,
Pete
thanks for your help Pete,
Now I'm looking for prices of certificates, but their are too expensive. I'll think if I need to buy one or if I can use just an unsigned certificate.
ok I'll send you a link of my site when it'll be finished, I hope you like it ;D
Regards,
David
Hi David,
You can create one yourself for free - such as the one we ship with KonaKart.
That wouldn't be acceptable for most people but maybe this would be OK for you..?
I look forward to seeing the site!
Regards,
Pete
David,
I am just learning about cert installation myself. Its going to be a challenge having a typical hosting service do this for Tomcat, I think.
As Pete said, you can generate your own cert, although people who don't know you personally have no reason to trust it (because its self-issued and not backed by a certificate authority). Its the certs that are backed/issued by a CA that cost money. I think Godaddy.com has low prices (about 1/5 the cost of other places) and they aren't tied-in with the dodgy Verisign juggernaut (the rest of the CA brands are owned by Verisign).
