Hi.. I just took note that I had been accessing scubaboard always via http and thought that I would try going at it via SSL.

The first thing that I get when trying to access https://www.scubaboard.com is that it is presenting an invalid certificate. The certificate was issued to *.mycloudproxy.com by GoDaddy, which doesn't cover scubaboard.com. I presume that scubaboard is being proxied, and this is probably OK. Perhaps there is some way to re-direct to something under mycloudproxy.com, but the re-direction may come after the certificate validation, so I don't know how that should work.. Anyhow, after that, if I allow the certificate to be accepted, I get to a page from Sucuri CloudProxy that claims that the site is using that service and is not properly configured. They ask for email at soc@sucuri.net to get it sorted out.

So, is SSL expected to work for scubaboard? Just asking...

If it is of any interest, I use startssl for no cost certificates on my servers. Fairly straight forward to set up and use (easier if you have a basic understanding of PKI or an interest in learning).

Hi Gary,

While there may be interest, the implementation of an SSL on this site would be complex and most likely result in many pages with mixed-content errors as we don't host all of the images.

The issue is not the $75 for an SSL.

Thanks.
