Dmut Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 It's a part of online commerce. This sertificate will provide RCA 1024bit encryption to your traffic with http://www.lockon.ru site. "There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble."

stefostef Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Issued by Snake Oil.CA. Not exactly a name that inspires confidence is it?? its to secure your account to avoid i suppose phishing so i think that it will come soon
Caretaker Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Hmm "snake oil" is a standard test for certificate creation - "snakeoil.dom" is obviously not a valid address ...seems like someone was confused a bit and installed a test certificate? ;) Caretaker ED Beta Test Team
Joe Kurr Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 This message usually appears when you open an SSL connection to a server. You can recognise an SSL link by the https:// instead of the http:// in front of it. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, which is designed to transfer confidential data over the Internet (such as credit card numbers and passwords) without others being able to intercept it.

BIOLOG Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 lol... There is always a way... The bird of Hermes is my name eating my wings to make me tame.
yamangman Posted April 4, 2005 Author Posted April 4, 2005 The dialog isn't the thing that bothers me, it is this...... E = ca@snakeoil.dom CN = Snake Oil CA OU = Certificate Authority O = Snake Oil, Ltd L = Snake Town ST = Snake Desert C = XY It's quite clearly completely fictional, Eagle trying to cut corners?
aceflier Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Well, that is a bit fishy. Think I'm going to wait to order till I find out how many of your bank accounts read 0 in the next few days. LOL lets hope not anyway. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
kdittyr Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 hmmm... interesting. I want to allow the certificate out of trust, but I don't trust them, yet. __________________ kdittyr
WhiskeyRomeo Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 As Caretaker pointed out: The SnakeOil CA certificate is just the default certificate shipped with an Apache SSL mod for testing. Usually a web site will contract a REAL CA (Certificate Authority) and get a unique Certificate. Nothing sinister - just ED hasn't yet applied for a Certificate.
