Well, not using SSL is a non-starter; for one thing, libraries tend to (and
should!) object to setups that expose patron transaction history and search
activity to snooping.  While Evergreen does currently expose the public
catalog via HTTP (typically), that will be deprecated in the next release.

I *strongly* encourage libraries who run into issues attempting to log into
their catalogs via the Android app to fix certificate chain issues as per
the link Ken provided, not to try to bypass HTTPS.

Regards,

Galen
