2. Installation process

OnTask is a Web application that manages data about learners to offer them personalized support. For this reason the installation process includes a set of tight security restrictions. Some of them lie within the scope of the tool, but others are part of the environment in which the application is installed. We strongly recommend to install OnTask in a web server that uses TTL encryption (HTTPS) to serve all the pages. The application requires exchanging sensitive information about your session with the browser, so the information should be encrypted.
