clawes Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I'm looking for instructions/documentation how to implement SSL for checkouts. It appears that the answer to this question is a well kept secret. Regards, :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 You have to purchase an SSL certificate and install it. Verisign is well know but very expensive. I used http://www.ebizid.com but there are plenty more out there if you look for them. They come with instructions on how to install. Good luck Dappa Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xantian15 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 SSL to me is crazy. I have had major problems with trying to get SSL sorted out. You buy a certificate, which is effectively a big number, your public key. Please correct me if i am wrong, but to me this seems weird paying money for a number. You need a web hosting account that supports your own SSL certificate, or if you are doing it yourself, install an SSL module on your apache server. I opted to use a shared SSL server, which alot of web hosting packages offer. You basically get https://www.someones-domain-name.com/~your-username/... or something like that. Alot simpler. Stick all your webpages onto that server and alter the SSL path in oscommerce's configure.php. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartwork Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Conrad - I agree 100% with ya! While I can find endless lists of posts containing some ssl issue or another, I've yet to find installation directions for osc when it comes to your own certificate or a shared one. I'm on a host with a shared certificate but have found nothing precise to indicate how to get osc going under such an arrangement. -shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
