Re: HTTPS

The wiki is clear as mud and I got absolutely nowhere with that.
So, I tried to follow the wiki entry for installing a Let'sEncrypt cert with similar results.
NOW, no matter what I do, whenever I try to load my webv4 page via HTTPS, I get a hung fTelnet window and the Control Panel reports "1248 TLS ERROR 'Received TLS Alert: Bad certificate' (-1) popping data"
This is more than a little frustrating.
It sounds like you're changing the subject from http-redirect-to-https now to a LetSyncrypt issue.
Is there an experienced sysop here willing to help a doofus out?
Here and likely in #synchronet on irc.synchro.net
I want to protect my web interface with HTTPS and force users to use it over plain HTTP. Is that a lot to ask?
It shouldn't be.
It IS considered "best practice" for web interfaces these days.
Sure, but I don't really see any reason to *force* the user to use https over http. Especially if you allow Telnet logins, they're certainly less secure than http-auth.
