Airborne Wind Energy Conference 2013 website reanimated

It is time to get nostalgic! With the help of Guido Lütsch, Bernd Lau, PJ Shepard and TU Delft’s IT services I have been able to reanimate the website of the Airborne Wind Energy Conference 2013 that took place in Berlin. The website includes speaker biographies, presentation slides and a wealth of photographic material of these pioneering times. Check it out here: https://www.awec2013.com

Depending on your browser the website might only run after making a security exception. If someone knows how to fix this please let me know.

Hi @rschmehl,

Indeed my browser doesn’t allow to open the website. A solution could be to gather the documents on the AWEC2013 website for a single document like the 2013 book of abstract that is available on https://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid%3Af91af52c-4e76-4cf5-917a-129455b3fca9.

Hi @PierreB, thanks for the feedback. You can easily add a security exception by clicking the space left to the URL in your browser. But this is not a long term solution, I admit, and the best would be to serve the pages via https. I need to figure out how to do this.
We can not make an additional book from the pages, unfortunately, because all content is in different formats. The book of abstract is available for this conference, via https://repository.tudelft.nl. It was more the idea to make also this additional information available.

Roland,

The SSL certificate your server is using is for awec2013.tudelft.nl while you are hosting the site under awec2013.com. Since this does not match the browser throws the warning.

The way to fix that is to create an SSL certificate for awec2013.com and tell your server to use it. Something that your web admins should be able to do.

Land and Space use - @PierreB

:slight_smile: You discovered this dilemma way back

Yes @tallakt. And also I remember https://www.enerkite.de/ test of their kW-range yoyo AWES and the instructions from the manager: “No one under the tether!”.

Christof,

Thanks for the expert advice!

What you describe was also on my mind but then I checked our awec2019.com website and found the same construction: the certificate is issued for awec2019.tudelft.nl while the site is hosted under awec2019.com. The latter is just an alias.

See below how it looks for awec2019.com. What could be wrong?

I checked the forwarding alias awec2019.com and I can not assign any certificates to this.

Best, Roland

OK, it is clear what happens. Christof is right, the security certificate does not cover the alias name awec2013.com. On the AWEC 2019 website the certificate includes all alternative domain names. Next request to IT services…

Problem has been solved. All operational AWEC websites awec2013.com, awec2015.com, awec2017.com and awec2019.com now have proper security certificates.
