You'd have to install a shady custom CA system-wide on your users, for a green lock that's 100% placebo. Just run firefox/chrome in app mode and hide the URL bar.
- galaxyLogic 3y agoThat's a good point. Maybe it is not needed. I'm thinking maybe in the future there could be a use-case to allow also others to connect to the app running on my PC. Basically it is a content-creation app. You use it to develop content you want to later publish and which you can develop and QA on your PC. But when used in an team-setting there might be a use-case for the QA-group to easily see the latest version of the content, even though they would not be allowed to edit it. I'm also thinking maybe some organizations might have a rule that only https: can be used.
