Certificates

Hello All,

             I am writing a java client to update our orgs tables in force.com. Now I can login using the http://

rather than the https:// URL. Now do I need to use the SF server certificate while making the login() call? I am concerned about the vulnerability of the user/password being hacked. If I need to use the certificate then what is the secure token used for??... I'd appreciate if anyone shed some light on this. Thanks.

You don't need to use the cert. the certificate is used for https connections that originate from salesforce.com.
