X3Photo Gallery Forums

Hello!

I use X3 for our private family photos. I’ve set up X3 so that a username and password are required to access it.
I’ve noticed that when I open the page (in MS Edge or Vivaldi), the password prompt window appears. That’s normal. But in the address bar at the top, there’s a message saying the page is insecure:
But it is an HTTPS page, and the certificate is valid. The warning only disappears after I enter my username and password.
Is entering the password actually unsafe? Did I configure something incorrectly, or is there another explanation for this behavior?

Thank you very much for X3 and your support!

Since the certificate is valid after a second check, I continued to look for the cause.
Finally, I discovered that the “index/” directory was specified under the “Protect” menu item. After I changed this to *GLOBAL instead /index, https:// now works fine starting from the login window.
