Hi Mitchell,

I'm not sure about if there is a certain definition, but I'm using https
for my instance. I just created a self-signed SSL certificate and added the
to my Apache virtual server. There: https. So yes :)

Exactly, and I might be mistaken, but I think that there is support to
store that in the online accounts service.

I agree. I don't know how Ubuntu handles that. Which levels of operation
that checks the certificate.

Thanks!
Cheers,
Daniel
