Title: Friendly reminder concerning your certificate
Post by: JohnDavis on April 20, 2016, 04:52:43 PM: I was working on our certs today and thought I'd take a look at yours.

Your ssl cert is using an outdated algorithm. You should look at using SHA-2 instead. SHA-1 has been outdated since 2015.

Please keep it civil in the upper fora.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm aware of the problem, but it's not very important as we don't send anything particularly sensitive over HTTPS. The certificate expires in a few months anyway, so I'll just renew it then.
