HTTP or HTTPS

[Bankesy]

Hello

 

Is there a way to specify a certain site to use only http instead of https?

 

I am told by the owners\creators of methodmaths that the reason our students see a security certificate error when logging in is because the connection is trying to use https but this wont happen if it uses http.

 

Thank you

Looks like Methodmaths' web server is badly configured to me - their server is set up to allow HTTPS connections, but the certificate they are presenting doesn't match their domain (it belongs to sgvps.net). They should either use the correct certificate or turn off HTTPS on their server entirely.

 

Depending on the web filter you're using, you can probably block HTTPS yourself to work around this problem, although using HTTP to send authentication credentials shouldn't really be encouraged.
