ssl or not ssl

[jcockrell]

When i go into the admin area of my oscommerce site in the bottom left it says "You are not protected by a secure SSL connection." and has an unlocked padlock. I'm sure i told it was when running the setup (automatic on host4apound) and when i click login there is a padlock shown in firefox. So why is it saying i'm not protected? Is this a problem for me?

Hi:

 

Try this...

 

"EZ" Secure Order & Customer Viewing for osCommerce Admin

 

This contribution addresses an issue with the store admin to allow secure viewing and editing of order and customer details while allowing the rest of the admin to remain in standard mode -- alleviating unneccessary strain on the SSL server and allowing generally quicker operation of nonSSL admin functions.

Hi, most of the site isnt ssl, just the checkout and login i think, but theres no much stress on the server. This doesnt explain or fix the unprotected notice though does it?

Right, admin is not secure by default. The contribution addresses that for critical pages such as customer info.
