login security

I've just switched from Gallery2 to Piwigo.  I've searched my little heart out but didn't find any answers to my question.  I want to ensure that credentials aren't passed in clear text when a user or admin logs in.

When I click on login I'm brought to the identification page but it isn't https.  How can I fix this?  Also, if I login from the identification menu, are those credentials being passed in clear text as well?

I'm running ubuntu 11.04 with Piwigo installed from the repos.

Thanks,

Re: login security

Hi mattonm,

Unless you have HTTPS (with a certificate and so on), credentials are passed in clear text. There is a solution based on Digest access authentication but it's not supported by all browsers as far as I remember.
