Facebook: Required: SSL Cert by October 1, 2011

Postby whitershores » July 2nd, 2011, 11:26 pm

It looks like facebook is making the SSL thing mandatory for facebook apps, if you check under the Application settings at:

On Facebook/ Canvas settings / Secure Canvas URL

You will find a lovely note saying "Required: SSL Cert by October 1, 2011".

You always wondered what else was needed for facebook apps, and now you know...

So how does this going to affect us? Anything in the works?

Haha, you guys been busy! Nice one!

However there are some other new weird required features on facebook app settings such as :

Tab URL:
Secure Tab URL:

( i used the same urls as the canvas URLs for now, not sure if thats the right thing ? )

and under the "Web"
Site Domain:

I tried to use my own domain I got for Sitebox, but then I get the error message:

Site Domain: xxxxx is not a valid domain.

Site Domain must be derived from your Site URL.


(xxxxx is my actual domain, i just didnt want to post it here)
I have no idea what to use there!

If you check the setup guide for your Sitebox site in the admin panel, you'll find the values for Canvas url, Secure Canvas url, and Site url.

You don't need to se a Tab url unless you use the feature. If I remember correctly, it should be the url to a page that outputs tab content. So if you make a page called tab.st, then the tab url is your canvas url + "tab", and the secure tab url is your secure canvas url + "tab".

Just ignore Site Domain, you don't need to fill out anything there.

Also, for extra fun and giggles, I just noticed that they have completely changed the interface for viewing and editing your apps. Hooray, now we have to re-do out setup guide!
