To remove the need for SSL:

Go into webapps/thredds/WEB-INF/web.xml and change all instances of 
CONFIDENTIAL to NONE.

Password authentication will then be done without encryption, but as long as 
you have a secure network, this shouldnt be a problem.

You will have to do this whenever you reinstall or upgrade thredds.war.

This box is for internal use only, and we don't require any security at this stage. Is it possible to turn it off?
