Hi everyone, in the past few days I have created a small test program
to make fpweb work with the bootstrap framework.
At present it manages a simple login and then displays some pages from
a menu (not all features are implemented, precisely because it is a
test). So far the utility works as I expect. But if I try to run it
with UseSSL: = true then the broweser won't log me in because of the
invalid certificate. How can I specify to the program where to go to
get the certificate?

My source: https://github.com/XinYiMan/LazIntranet_Test

I am aware that I could turn the application into CGI and have the
apache certificate used, but in my head this type of application
should work on computers that do not have apache installed.

To activate and deactivate SSL just play with the custom options. By
removing or adding: -dActiveSSL

Yes, I had read that discussion. I can tell you that instead it
supports https I don't understand just how to assign them a
certificate.

If it's meant to run on local network, simply don't use the SSL. It's
overkill. OTOH, if it's meant to run on a public machine, it must have
proper web server capabilities anyway or the application will be
exhausted soon because it handles all bad and good requests by itself.
So the requirement of proper web server, if you don't like apache you
can choose nginx, is unavoidable. You can learn from my experience or
experience it yourself, it's your call.
