Securing Pages in OSC after getting SSL -- how to?

[jpweber]

Hello. I have my SSL installed, and everything appears to be working good. When I go to http://www.mysite.com, and I manually put in the "s" in there, the lock appears, and everything's cool. I don't think I need the home page to be secure, though, so I'm not concerned with that.

 

So now what? I mean, do I secure the login, create_account, and checkout pages? Any other pages? If so, how do I go about securing these pages, and creating the "https" on these links?

 

I can't find any documentation on this, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It's weird ... it's like ... my wishlist, my account, and checkout all already have the https:// links for a secured page, and they show the lock at the bottom, and that's good. I don't know how this happened automatically, 'cause I didn't do it.

 

But "cart contents" doesn't. I went in and manually changed this myself in catalog/includes/header.php so that the cart contents is secured and the lock stays there. I made it <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'SSL'); ?>, and now Cart Contents is secured, with the lock.

 

Am I way off base, or am I getting the hang of how to do this?

To secure all the relevant pages on your site (login, account, checkout etc) simply set ENABLE_SSL in your configure.php file to TRUE. Sounds like you havedone this already - so you're good to go.

You dont need to edit header.php

 

Its all in the includes/configure.php

 

Read the documentation SSL Documentation

 

Middle of the page and it shows you the parameters to edit to enable SSL on the correct pages

Thanks a lot guys. I did enable SSL to "true" on configure.php, and I also made a couple other pages secure that I wanted to just by putting copying the attributes of the links that conifigure.php installed onto other pages, and putting them onto other links. You know, I put that , '', 'SSL' in there after the FILENAME. Appreciate your responses -- everything is working perfectly right now!
