Site Check Please...Trying to get SSL up...

PWD

Trying to get SSL up and running. Could a few of you check the following link to my website and let me know the following:

1) Is my site and a few of the navigation links accessible?
2) If so, is my entire site running under SSL?
3) Any strange certificate warnings with FF/IE/NS?

My Site

Thanks a bunch!

Forever Grateful,

PWD

With SSL , you need to add https:// at the beginning of the URL. Most shopping
carts will add this after you checkout. You need to manually add the https:// :-)

Example:
https://www.integrated-technologies.us/

Chit! I knew that, my fault!

I came up with a compromise. I AM able to set a link as SSL it seems AND keep the rest of my site normal. Try the link above again. Should take you to the index page of my site. Then click on the 'Contact Us' or 'FamilyZone' navigation link and they're encoded with SSL.

It works fine , as I said before , its only required for mostly Shopping Carts
but you can also use it to transfer important information to your server. :-)

My one income supports FOUR people (self, wife and 2 kids), so I haven't had the spare $$$ to purchase X2 as of yet.

So I have our extended but geographically challenged family's page tied in with the site since I can't currently host more than one domain. SSL works great for keeping our family photos, video clips etc. etc. more secure AND as an extra security measure for the 'Contact Us' form and my-in-progress shopping cart.

Thanks a bunch TrustPunk!

As always:

Forever Grateful

Just a note - if you are simply running Abyss on port 80 and STunnel on port 443 and forwarding to port 80, it will always be possible to access your pages without using https:// if someone simply changes https back to http manually in the address bar. To get a section of your site to be SSL only, you will need to run another copy of Abyss on a different port and have that available only to localhost, then have STunnel forward to that second instance of Abyss.

roganty - both those are side effects of using STunnel...

My tutorial showed how to create a self signed certificate - this means the browser will not recognise the signing authority. It doesn't stop encryption from working ok though ;)

The IP address when browsing using HTTPS will show as 127.0.0.1 because the connection to Abyss is being made by STunnel, which is on the same PC as the Abyss install...
