Not anymore. They added a redirect.
OS X talks to plenty of apple.com subdomains and there really is no reason not to use self-signed certificates for this kind of thing.
- alternize 12y agothe redirect happens _after_ the certificate warning. to get to the redirect, you have to accept the self signed certificate first. so it might still scare people away, and rightfully so: normal folks cannot distinguish a self signed certificate from a malicious used one f.e. used in phishing attempts.
- quonn 12y ago> normal folks cannot distinguish a self signed certificate from a malicious used one What do you mean with "normal folks"? Nobody can possibly distinguish this, since an attacker would also just use a self-signed certificate.
- teamhappy 12y agoYou're right, of course. Did they change the certificate? https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=apple.com https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=apple.c... https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=www.apple.com https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=www.app...
