English Drupal is the perfect match when it comes to collaboration and communication in teams. As it is easy to setup and flexible to use, an intranet setup for companies or a setup for closed groups of people is easy to realize.
However, stealing your login credentials or your session from a public network is trivial, securing your confidential information a must.
The session is about how to setup and configure Apache to support SSL using a free server certificate form CAcert [1]. You will learn what CAcert is and what it does and how you can use it to issue client certificates to your employees/users.
We will configure Drupal to use the issued client certificates for authentication.
