#1755 Require SSL in ipa location block
Closed: wontfix a year ago by rcritten. Opened 12 years ago by rcritten.

Within the /ipa Location on ipa.conf we should add NSSRequireSSL to require that SSL is enabled to do negotiate authentication. This is an added level of protection in case a user messes up our rewrite rules.


As Rob reported in

http://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-devel/2011-September/msg00360.html

this breaks the installation. Reopening. A ticket based on a fix suggested by Rob has been sent to the list.

Firefox doesn't send the password to URIs that haven't requested authentication so we are ok there sending credentials.

Pushing to 3.0 for more careful consideration as it will cause major changes to ipa.conf.

Moving the ticket to the next month iteration.

Patch is obsolete, removing on_review flag.

I'm going to close this. I can't recall any reported case where a user has messed with the rewrite rules which enforce https requests.
