The questions about SSL
Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 3:15 pm
I have never worked with SSL certificates before, so i wanted to ask some questions about SSL.
There is a website, let's call it A that gives a particular paid service to a group of websites (group B). When a registered user from any of websites B wants to use A he have to send to A some information includes user name and password. To owner of a B group convenient to use the same usernames and passwords for all these services. The one who can take possession of these data will be able to use sites A and B as well which is unacceptable. The question is: is the SSL could be a good solution for this situation? And do we can use the same usernames and passwords for A and B or it is better to use different usernames and passwords anyway? And is it correct that the owner of these websites needs to buy a SSL certificate for website A only.
