SSL Certification and self service launch pages
Hi
It came to me this morning, but I'm don't know if there is any problem. Or, what I should be paying attention to?
Do you have any experience wit this issue?

"Since this page has username/password, can we install the SSL certificate so that we can secure the connection."---- this is a message from our www guy regarding our launch pages in our secured webfocus reporting server.

We have a heavy number of self-services luanch pages so user cna submit their own query and get result back.

Yes you can use SSL for those userid / password protected pages. Without the use of SSL for the userid / password logon, the information can be easily intercepted.
