Regardless weather we use Basic or NTLM authentication, the backend is going to be the Domain password database. So, the idea is that even simple encryption is better than none. I know that this is bad security-wise, but it is much easier for users. I am aware of Self-Signed certs, and have tal

I apologize, the information below is incorrect. The pipeline updater is only for students. I have discussed the issue with the person in charge of the updating system, and he said that the issue will probably be fixed soon for linux clients using a complicated system we have developed. Again,
