Create a secure page

Post by heinscott » Fri Aug 27, 2010 8:25 am

Hello,
Wondering if anyone could help me with creating a secure page on the front end of my site? I have a page that contains the LoginDialog conlib file, as well as a custom conlib that allows a customer to check the status on a shipment by using their order number and last name. The point of this would be to have the customer just use the normal member section if they have an account (via login), and use the new method for those who don't have an account, don't remember their account details, or just don't want to login. We have the page up right now, but the problem I am having is that the login dialog on an unsecure page is causing an error in my mcafee scans due to the possibility of plain text being transmitted, and possibly intercepted. Is there anyway to accomplish what I am looking for? I tried just putting the https:// at the front of the url, but always get redirected to the unsecure version.
Any ideas for me?
Thanks,

Scott

Have a look at this thread
viewtopic.php?f=42&t=10135

Actually in order to enable SSL on a page you need to add entry of your page in App_Data/AbleCommerce.config file under secure pages tag. Secondly if you are looking to create a page that also ask customer to login first then solution is provided in thread mentioned above.
