Re: [Htmlunit-user] SSL Client Certificate

[Ahmed A. <asa...@ya...>]

Hi,
There are two things, server Certificate and (optional) client certificate.
SSL ensures your password is secure.
You need to trust the server certificate only if it not trusted by its chain (in which case you would get an SSL exception).
You don't provider your own certificate, except if the server needs client certificate and yours is known to it.
Hope that helps,
Ahmed

 Subject: [Htmlunit-user] SSL Client Certificate
   
I've been creating a program that will log into a given paypal account and then navigate to the activities page to pull all the transactions on that list to be displayed in a table. However, I'm wondering if the credentials of the user that's logging in will be secure or not. Paypal of course uses HTTPs/SSL etc. but my question is do I need to provide a certificate of my own? If not then will the user name and password still be as safe as if I was using my normal chrome browser? Would distributing this app make the login credentials insecure (past the inherit ability to find them in the source code).
It says here that I don't need to have one on my side but I'd just like to be absolutely sure.
 ~ Thank you in advance.
