Posts: 6316 Reg: Nov 07, 2012 Tamuning, GU 81,410	confirm \| cancel 09/02/16 10:44 AM (7 years ago) Creating your own SSL Certificate A discussion about App Transport Security, and SSL/TLS for the future prompted me to pound out a quick tutorial on how to create your own SSL certificate, and a little about how and why. It's fairly quick and pointed, so I'd appreciate some corrections or improvements if possible. https://www.marianasgps.com/public/SSLCerts.pdf Cheers! -- Smug Title Comments A discussion about App Transport Security, and SSL/TLS for the future prompted me to pound out a quick tutorial on how to create your own SSL certificate, and a little about how and why.

Just to make sure I understand this, our existing self-hosted apps on http will be ok. This will affect new apps. And the solution is just to add SSL to our self-hosted domains. Right?
