#1207: Einstein toolkit sites with invalid security certificates

 Priority:  major                    |   Milestone:     
Component:  EinsteinToolkit website  |     Version:

 https://einsteintoolkit.org exists but has an invalid security certificate
 (http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=einsteintoolkit.org).
 I don't think we need SSL/TLS on this server.  It should either be
 disabled or a valid certificate used.

 The same applies to https://cactuscode.org (http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-
 checker.html#hostname=cactuscode.org).

 Note that Frank's page (http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~knarf/cgi-bin/monitor.cgi)
 reports these certificates as self-signed; they are also expired.  Self-
 signed certificates on public websites are bad: they encourage people to
 click through the warnings.
