    Hello everyone,

    My client told me the following statement.

    "I need to get the site secure, (https) or to a payment terminal site that offers security."

    Should I add SSL to my client's website ? Or what should I do ?

    Thanks,

    Cecilia

    What that means is setting your web server to enable SSL/TLS. This will entailing obtaining a server digital certificate from a trust broker like Verisign. You would then install this certificate onto your web server and enable SSL. From the applications point of view, as long as you force your users to use HTTPS protocal rather than HTTP then it will all work like magic Laughing

    Hi,

    Thanks for your help!

    For my client's website to use HTTPS.  What should I do with my client's website ?  Do I need to modify my client website's in order for my client's website to use HTTPS ?

    Thanks,

    Cecilia

    You just need to turn on HTTPS in the IIS entry for that website.

    On top of what TATWORTH said, you will also need to ensure users use the HTTPS: protocol in the URI for the pages you want to use SSL.

    You need to add some code to your master page/base page that redirects http to https, then it be becomes immaterial as to whether the users access with a HTTP or HTTPS url as they will always be redirected.
