hi there! you all (developers, users, jabber-server admins) still do not understand what are ssl certificates for!! Developers: exodus accepts ANY server certificate (even fake from monkey-in-the-middle - MITM) Users: always clicking YES to any certificate warning (in internet explorer, psi jabber client etc.) Server admins: it's OK you have self-signed certs, but at least set correct validity period and host name you all do not understand HOW EASY is to do i.e. arp-poisoning to hijack traffic and become MITM sniffer (injector) think about it Vlado.
