Doc Text:	We'll need release notes on how to 'upgrade' from a 2.2.0 without HTTPS to 2.2.2 with HTTPS. 1. We should update the documentation (not release notes) that the default should now be https://... - with additional instructions on installing the RHEVM CA certificate. 2. If you've already used HTTP, you will need to erase the cookie(s) (called RHEVManager/) from IE (and restart IE). The next time you'll go to https://<rhevm>/RHEVManager, you'll get the additional prompt to install the RHEVM CA certificate. Once you've done that, after you restart IE (again) and go to https://<rhevm>/RHEVManager, everybody will be happy.	Story Points:	---

Comment 8 Petr Matousek 2010-08-19 21:34:33 UTC

It was found that the SSL certificate was not verified when using the 
client-side Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager interface (a Windows 
Presentation Foundation (WPF) XAML browser application) to connect to the Red 
Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. An attacker on the local network could 
use this flaw to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack, tricking the user into 
thinking they are viewing the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager when the 
content is actually attacker-controlled, or modifying actions a user requested 
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to perform.
