If you go to http://donate.wikimedia.org.uk/ you can donate… insecurely.
If you go to https://donate.wikimedia.org.uk/ you can donate… but you get an SSL certificate error.
This seems like a problem.

Yeh I raised this a few weeks ago; and I recall someone else did then.
It's due to misconfigured SSL on the server (setting up a server the handle multiple SSL certificates can be a pain).
I'm not sure what the status of it being fixed is; but I did offer advice back then on how to go about it.

Thanks for the reminder of this. I've implemented a work-around for now (moving direct debit processing over to donate.wikimedia.org.uk and switching to only having SSL on that subdomain) - we'll get a better solution in place before the next fundraiser. Please could you check that it's working properly for you now?
(BTW, the issue about being able to donate insecurely was a new one, since our .htaccess should have been insisting on using https. This should also be fixed - please let me know if this is still happening.)
Thanks, Mike

I can confirm that it's working properly, at least on my end. My browser doesn't report a certificate error and http automatically redirects to https.
Thanks, Michael!

Mike,
Good work. My quick testing agrees that everything is OK.
But who is actually responsible? Jon Davies? Or another member of staff?

Great, thanks for testing it. :-)

Right now, me as a volunteer. The responsibility will soon be transferred to a full-time developer post that we're just about to advertise for, though (see [[wmuk:Developer_job_description]] ).
Thanks, Mike

That's what I had suspected. A developer who also systems administration roles.
Oversee the operation of the WMUK servers. <<<<<<<
That fits.
Sysadmin experience to support the day-to-day running of
Wikimedia UK's IT systems. <<<<<<
That also fits.

Echo thanks to Mike.
