From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: When I attempt to login to www.redhat.com/bugzilla using Netscape 4.x on RH Linux 7.1, a warning is issued: "The information you submit is insecure and could be observed by a third party while in transit. If you are submitting passwords, credit card numbers, or other information that you would like to keep private, it would be safer for you to cancel the submission." Is it OK for RedHat's bugzilla passwords to be transmitted as clear text? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Netscape in RH Linux 7.1 2. Open the web page www.redhat.com/bugzilla 3. Click on login, and enter your login ID and password. 4. Click on the 'Login' button. The warning message is displayed. Actual Results: The warning message about the insecure transfer of a login ID and password is displayed. Expected Results: An encrypted transfer of the bugzilla user's login ID and password should be performed. Additional info:
I need to have them remove that redirect from the main web site as it causes confusion. But it is not necessarily a bug. If you go directly to http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla you will still get the error about passing insecure information since the channel is not encrypted. You can connect to bugzilla securely by using the following url instead https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla This should be more secure. I will speak with the web guys to make sure this is the default or the redirect is removed altogether.
Still not using https as the default, right?

Should be the default. If you find an entry point for logging in that doesnt use https please reopen this and let me know.
