soupgfx Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi. I have client who keeps asking me how she can log into her admin section securely. At the bottom left hand side of the admin start screen is a little box that warns her that she is, "you are not protected by a secure SSL connection". Even though we have a legit SSL security certificate. Can someone let me know if there is a certain procedure for her to login correctly or am I missing something in the setup process? Thank you for any information on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for any information on this. Tell her to access the admin with the correct HTTPS URL. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

soupgfx Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Weird... When logging in, it automatically switches to the normal http://www... but after I log in and manually input the "s" after the http it switches to the secure method. It's just weird that it won't stay in https mode while I log in. Tell her to access the admin with the correct HTTPS URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just weird that it won't stay in https mode while I log in. The only way I can think of that would explain that is a rewrite rule in a .htaccess file.

♥mdtaylorlrim Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 In /catalog/admin/configure.php change: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com'); define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com'); to: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://yourdomain.com'); define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://yourdomain.com'); Be sure you do not mess with the configure.php in the /catalog/includes/ folder.

web-project Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 In /catalog/admin/configure.php change: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com'); define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com'); to: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://yourdomain.com'); define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://yourdomain.com'); Be sure you do not mess with the configure.php in the /catalog/includes/ folder. THEN log in using the proper https://yourdomain.com after updating the configure.php file, simply add the following: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://yourdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} to your .htaccess in admin folder and the http protocol will be redirected to https.
