Yeah really..same here.

 

I was rather shocked after installing oscommerce and to find that the admin panel was right out there for the world to see. They should implement some option in the admin panel for this.

Well there is likely a way to do this via oscommerce - but the easiest way is to go to your hosting control panel and find the option to password protect directories. That's why the installation mentions to do this step so as not to let your valuable data run freely on the net.

I had this same problem and I went to admin/includes/configure.php and changed the line at around line 14

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http:// to define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https:// and it seems to work fine now. At least now

the admin panel is all https and secure. This assumes you have an SSL certificate installed which all carts should

have anyway if not for anything else to secure your visitors that create an account at your site.
