back-end of store is not secure

[smokey2008]

I had an issue with my catalog/includes/configuration.php not being set right for security. I noticed with a fairly new installation of osCommerce that my transactions weren't secure. Not sure how that happened but it was easily fixed by changing permissions and then writing the https://... in front of the domain name on a line of code. Every page starting with the login page is secure now. This is the latest version of osCommerce. My hosting account has a shared ssl installed.

 

My problem is that I'm wondering if I should see the padlock showing me I'm secure when I'm in the backend of my store. After I log in to the back end, shouldn't I also see the padlock then?

 

Thanks.
