Simple question: how do I setup https for admin side only?

Saturday 13 June 2009 11:20:30 am

I solved the problem in my other post, but I am having problems getting https to work for the admin side of our website. Our admin side of the site is a site access with the name "site_admin". When I go to https://url/site_admin it kicks me back to http://url/site_admin. I tried editing a bunch of different things in the site.ini file, but nothing worked, it still redirects back to http. Here is part of the site.ini.append.php file that is located in the "site_admin" site access folder:

?php /* #?ini charset="utf-8"?

[InformationCollectionSettings]
EmailReceiver=

[SiteSettings]
SiteName=work site
SiteURL=url
LoginPage=custom
SSLPort=443

[UserSettings]
RegistrationEmail=

[SiteAccessSettings]
RequireUserLogin=true
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=site_admin
ShowHiddenNodes=true

[DesignSettings]
SiteDesign=site_admin
AdditionalSiteDesignList[]=admin

[DebugSettings]
DebugOutput=disabled
Debug=inline
DebugRedirection=disabled

[TemplateSettings]
Debug=disabled
ShowXHTMLCode=disabled
ShowUsedTemplates=disabled

[DatabaseSettings]
SQLOutput=disabled

[SSLZoneSettings]
SSLZones=enabled
SSLSubtrees[]=/site_admin

# ModuleViewAccessMode[shop/add]=ssl
# ModuleViewAccessMode[shop/basket]=ssl
#
# Do not remove this line unless you know what you're doing
*/ ?>

I use URI access method.

Questions:

Is 'site_admin' considered an SSLSubtree?
Do I need to do anything with ModuleViewAccessMode settings? I just want everything http://url/site_access to be https. It's not sticking. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Andre. I got it working. I set the SSLZoneSettings as:

[SSLZoneSettings]
SSLZones=enabled
SSLSubtrees[]=/

Then set each Module as [<module name>/*] =SSL

and it worked.
