Enabling shared SSL with OSCommerce

It is my understanding that osCommerce has a built in feature to

support shared SSL.

 

When this feature is configured properly, osCommerce will automatically switch to using the secure "https" web addresses for the checkout procedure.

 

I understand that I need to update configuration files to enable this feature:

 

 

For example I understand that in /catalog/includes/configure.php, I need to:

 

Set

 

define('HTTPS_SERVER', '')

 

to the right value for my SSL.

 

But I'm not sure exactly what to do with this Line.

 

Presently, the Line in that file looks like this:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mywebsite.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

 

Can someone give me an example of how I would "Set the right value for my SSL"?

 

My web host told me:

 

"You'll need to direct people to your shopping cart url using the shared

ssl url. For example, if the link to the checkout is

http://website.com/checkout.php , you'll need to send visitors to

https://cobalt.webhost.com/website.com/checkout.php when they

click on the checkout button. This will switch visitors to the ssl conenction

for the checkout procedure."

 

Yet, I still don't know how to edit the configuration files to accomplish this.

 

Can someone please help me by giving me an example of how I would "Set the right value for my SSL"? in the configuration file?

 

Thanks so much. I look forward to your reply.
