Use of unauthenticated HTTPS
There
are many practical business reasons for supporting unauthenticated
access to WebSEAL over HTTPS:
- Some applications do not require a personal login, but require sensitive information, such as addresses and credit card numbers. Examples include online purchases of airline tickets and other merchandise.
- Some applications require that you register for an account with the business before you can proceed with further transactions. Again, sensitive information must be passed over the network.
