https access broken #37

Open graybeal opened 6 years ago

graybeal commented 6 years ago

I can't access COR on https://cor.esipfed.org, connection is refused.

AFAIK HTTPS access hasn't be set up at all, so I wouldn't consider this a bug (but an enhancement). But let's tag @abburgess here as an opportunity to push/learn about the plans for HTTPS access.

graybeal commented 6 years ago

The reason this is critical is that the entire web is moving to secure protocols for web browsing, as http access is increasingly insecure and un-private. For example see https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/8/16991254/chrome-not-secure-marked-http-encryption-ssl, which indicates any http site will be marked as not secure with a banner in Google Chrome starting in July 2018.

All Symantec PKIs are affected (e.g., digicert, geotrust, rapidssl,thawte, verisign, equifax); see https://security.googleblog.com/2018/03/distrust-of-symantec-pki-immediate.html

@lewismc Did you move this to some other tracker?

AFAICT, this also affects SWEET. I'm not sure what this entails, specifically, as it is unclear at present if it's a host/provider issue or can be toggled via DNS (or both)?

Could this be a bullet point at the next COR meeting? :)

@brandonnodnarb I think it is a matter of getting a certificate and install it for cor.esipfed.org in the appropriate apache config file. Likewise, a separate certificate would be needed for sweetontology.net.

I think I will need to get some support from ESIP so I can make appropriate changes in the AWS environment, but not 100% sure of that. I haven't pursued getting a better role on the AWS environment (my current role/authority is very limited) because they were so swamped for the summer meeting, but it's on my list.
