Web Access Security

[KazMax]

I have web access set up and working (I am evaluating the software presently). Working with a domain name and the port number supplied by the software, and I can access Express Accounts with a browser no problem.

 

Could you please confirm whether the logon name and password are sent as plain text over the Internet? I assume that the connection is a standard HTTP arrangement (not SSL), and I am slightly concerned that passwords could be read and abused by hostile peeps.

 

I tried setting up an SSL channel on port 443 redirected to the port which was advised by Express Accounts (using my firewall router), however that failed, I suspect because Express Accounts will not work with SSL.
