All traffic on Vanilla Cloud is served over HTTPS and HTTP requests are prohibited. This is an industry standard and it makes the whole Internet more secure.
Gotchas
- Since your site is being served through SSL you may encounter problems if you are externally linking to non-SSL resources such as javascript, css, or images. Keep this in mind if you are custom theming your site or have other customizations enabled.
- If you are using jsConnect, make sure your authentication url is available over SSL or else jsConnect will fail.
