Hi!

Are you considering to start HTTPS on forum.nette.org? I have strange feelings every time I need to press “Log in” button on this forum. Anyone else has the same strange feeling? :-)

Thanks!

The problem is that we need wildmark certificate for nette.org and startssl considers Nette as organization, so I cannot generate the certificate from my account (nor can anybody else). It has to be payed for.

But yeah, I would love to have nette.org on HTTPS :)

I think wildcard is not needed, only some cert authority, which allows you to name subdomains. (but that's not starssl)

@hrach StartSSL certificate can be created for subdomain without any problem… at least the free one. You just have to create separate certificates for each subdomain…

@Quinix probably, but that's something you don't want to do.

@hrach Care to elaborate? If you don's care about clients without SNI, I don't see any issue in that. AFAIK SAN certificates cost about the same as wildcard…

There are many domains on one IP:

  • nette.org
  • dibiphp.com
  • ne-on.org
  • nettefoundation.com
  • posobota.cz
  • texy.info

Even not all of them needs SSL, it's good to know. Let's say nette, dibi, texy need it.

Multidomain wildcard is technically an ideal solution but expensive. SNI + per/domain certificate is imho acceptable.

Another think is the StartSSL policy. I read the StartSSL policy. Maybe we can pass, but I'm not a lawyer.

I'm keeping hope for the Let's Encrypt.

Let's assume all browsers of our users support SNI for this site. There is no reason why to care about old browsers, developers are living on the edge.

There would be another issues with old browsers besides SNI, for example old and vulnerable ciphers, SSLv3…

BTW, there is also possibility to acquire free certificate for opensource projects – for example https://www.globalsign.com/…open-source/

Great! „Your open source project has been approved. This code is valid for a Domain Validated SSL Certificate

Only problem is the organization name („The Organization name must be the full legal registered form, which is required for the order to be processed.“).
