Adding a secured page

[arames]

HI there,

 

I know how to add a NORMAL Box page (creating a new apge).

 

But I wanted the new page about_us.php to force the SSL, how do I add this?

 

I mean to show this page in the secure way?

 

Thanx in advance for your help,

Arames

At the top of the page code, just AFTER this line:

 

  require('includes/application_top.php');

ADD this code:

 

  if ( $request_type != 'SSL' ) {
header('Location: ' . HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . basename($PHP_SELF));
 }

This code should work on any osC page you wanted to do this to.

thx so much! :wub:

[germ]

You're welcome.

 

I changed the code after you looked at it I beleive, so look it over once more.

;)

[arames]

Well the first code worked well ... but still i changed it as advised to the second.

 

Also works well (whats the difference?)

[germ]

If you looked closely, the first code produced an extra / in the URL.

 

It did work.

 

That'll teach me to answer posts before I'm fully awake...

:blush:

Germ,

 

what do I need to change in the configure.php so that my administration pages open in httpS and not http ?

 

I already have a secured pass in .htaccess but i also need the pages to open in https.

 

here is my configure.php

 

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

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.mydomain.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.mydomain.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/var/www/html/shop/'); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/shop/securedadmin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/var/www/html/shop/securedadmin/'); // absolute pate required

 

Thanx a million ;)

Any help?

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.mydomain.com');

or,

 

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.mydomain.com');

or both.

The key word there being "open".

 

The only ways to make it "open" in SSL are with a mod rewrite in a .htaccess file, or access it with your SSL URL.

 

The other changes suggested in this thread will probably make it stay in SSL mode after the initial access and logon.

 

Personally, I've accessed mine with the proper SSL URL, then saved it in my "favorites", and always use that link in my browser's "favorites".

yep, it is 'OPEN', and not 'CLOSE' :) .
