How to Enable HTTPS / SSL on WAMP Server

-

Why Would I Need HTTPS / SSL on WampServer? The time has come for all websites to migrate to HTTPS. Effective July 2018, Google’s Chrome browser will mark non-HTTPS sites as “not secure”. Google has been pushing webmasters to make the change to non-secure websites for many years now including hinting at small rankings boost. SSL stands for “Secure Sockets Layer” and when a website owner has one, all data passed between web browsers and servers is private and encrypted. WampServer is a great tool for building a website on your local computer but as of right now it does not support HTTPS / SSL out of the box. Building your website from the ground up with HTTPS / SSL in mind can save you a lot of problems when you finally do put your site online.

How to Secure Session Management in Node

In a web application, data is transferred from a browser to a server over HTTP. In modern applications, we use the HTTPS protocol, which is HTTP over TLS/SSL (secure connection), to transfer data securely. Looking at common use cases, we often encounter situations where we need to retain user state and information. However, HTTP is a stateless protocol. Sessions are used to store user information between HTTP requests. We can use sessions to store users' settings like when not authenticated. Post authentication sessions are used to identify authenticated users. Sessions fulfill an important role between user authentication and authorization. Exploring Sessions Traditionally, sessions are identifiers sent from the server and stored on the client-side. On the next request, the client sends the session token to the server. Using the identifier, the server can associate a request with a user. Session identifiers can be stored in cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage. Session identi...
