Community Security Upgrade

Community Security Upgrade

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise Community recently completed a communications security upgrade. The entire Community is now operating with the HTTP over SSL protocol, meaning each page is addressed by an https:// call, instead of http://. HTTP over SSL encrypts the communication between the site and your browser, making the entire experience much more secure. 

There should be no visible impact, with the possible exception of image files hosted on external web sites not protected by HTTP over SSL. If your browser settings allow alerts for mixed content, this may trigger them. The solution is to upload your previously externally hosted images to your Image Gallery (see the FAQ for Images and Image Galleries for details), and update the source information for your images.

We will continue to evaluate and enhance our security measures as needed, going forward.
