(I know a lot of info is already transmitted encrypted) From a client side it will just alert people to change the URL at their convenience, they should: 1. Set No New Tasks to finish work. 2. Finish work 3. Detach 4. Reattach using HTTPS. Happy to help! ID: 70465 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Actually for newer clients it requires no interactions - https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/commit/b695ca2c05c42814bd832d17134dfefd4c9969ac ID: 70466 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The Windows version 7.6.20 should make the http->https seamless. Mac/Linux users might still have to do the detach/re-attach dance. ID: 71397 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
