Hi, A while back there was a discussion around implementing logging into the store (or the device, for that matter) using WebDM. The feature was paused due to the fact that the connection between the browser and the device was over unencrypted http, and the current UX of ssl-on-local-networks is not great.
I think we'll need to fix this soon. While we may be able to update WebDM psot 15.04 release due to it being an app and not in core (is that still correct?), I was thinking we might want to settle on how we're going to tackle this so we make sure whatever we might need ships in core in 15.04. AFAIK, there are 2 options: 1) Use a proxy server on the internet that has proper SSL to configure the account. If you need to authenticate to the store, you have an internet connection anyway. This won't work, however, for local authentication. 2) Self-signed cert that people have to accept, with the possibility of printing part of the fingerprint on the physical device for those who want to verify it (or a verification via ssh). Most users will ignore and accept it, but it would be good to have something available for the more cautious crowd. Are there any other smart ways of doing a secure connection with a standard browsers to a service hosted in a local network? -- Martin -- snappy-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snappy-devel
