Amin area does not stay SSL it switches

[bitera]

Hi Everyone,

 

My admin area switches from SSL to non-SSL when I click on the different options. I looked the the application_top.php in the admin/includes area and added the following item that was missing but it is still not staying in SSL

 

// set the type of request (secure or not)

  $request_type = (getenv('HTTPS') == 'on') ? 'SSL' : 'NONSSL';

 

Any ideas how to keep the admin area all in SSL ?

 

TIA,

 

John

What do you mean by switches from SSL to non-SSL? What options to do click on that cause this?

I enter the site with https://sitedomain.com and then when I click on any of the admin links it switches to http://sitedomain.com making it non-SSL

 

Can't figure out why it's switching

In your admin/includes/configure.php file change all references to http://yourdomain.com to https://www.yourdomain.com (or whatever pathway you are using for ssl if on a shared ssl cert).

Thanks, I was thinking of doing that but didn't want to but it works and that is all that matters! :D

Never, ever change anything in application top or any program dealing with SSL, period. SSL is handled automatically by osCommerce and changing anything in the programs will only make it worse and most people dont even keep track of what they change and get into trouble.

I realize that and guess the KISS approach is always best...

 

Thanks...
