Hi,

Can we get a secure login to our web accounts? I notice that Rosetta/Boinc uses OpenSSL when transmitting data from our PC's, but we have to enter our account passwords in clear text over the website.

If there isn't an ssl certificate for https://boinc.bakerlab.org yet, they're dirt cheap from godaddy.com.

Thanks,

Ed

I will bring your question to the attention of the system administrator.


EDIT: I have word back that they are looking into this issue, and discussing how to proceed.

Hi, I manually switched the login url to use https today as a test. It complained about mismatched security certificates, but it worked.

I think a 'Secure Login/out' link should be added to the navigation of the screen since most people are not aware that secure login is now available.

Thanks,

Ed
