DiscountASP.net Security

  1. Hello all!

    I have an issue with this site's security because, well, there isn't any. The login is not secure so password changes can be intercepted, and if I go to email account setup page you're printing the password out in plain text - not a good thing to do on an unsecure connection.

    Are there any plans to make the site SSL-secured after login?

    Best regards,
    DM

    Hello DM,

    The control panel should be secure. It sounds like a site design problem (linking to http rather https). Can you let me know how you get to the control panel?

    Thanks

  3. Bruce,

    I agree it sounds like design problem -- if you go to www.discountasp.net and log in from the top left login form, you do not get an https link but a simple http.

    http://www.discountasp.net/ControlPanel/default.aspx

    I have substituted http with https and was connected securely. This leads me to believe the form simply has the wrong link.

    Best,
    DM

  5. Hello,

    I'm glad I read this thread.

    I'm not sure I understand your questions completely. If you are asking for a secure web-based method to do email, you can use the Secure Login link on your webmail interface to access a secure enviroment. However, please note that the secure environment will use our domain name (instead of yours).

    If I haven't completely answered your question, please let us know.
