google apps finally gets SSL forced

Posted on August 19, 2008 by Nic Wise

Yup, the title says it all. GMail has had “force SSL” for quite a while, but now Google Apps has it. You can find it in the Manage This Domain area (ie, where you manage the domain as a whole), under Domain Settings -> General.

About time. Enabled. Especially given the google mail hacking tool thinggie which is out there.

    Cheers for pointing out the “force SSL” for even Gmail.

    It’s not available for free accounts, I just posted about this in the discussion group yesterday: http://is.gd/1KN3

    My argument is that security shouldn’t be a paid feature – it should be built in.
