ssl sessions

Post by newmember »

Hi

I want to move administration section of the site from usual http connections to ssl.
(not only login but entire session)

I have a few related questions...


What are the requirements from host, if any?

Are there any changes to php pages i should make exept changing "http" to "https"? e.g. pages using session, transitions between pages ...

On what circamstances do i need to use curl or openssl php modules?

thanks

Is this on your own server?

All the PHP is the same but some things need to change at the server. You need an SSL certificate and your own IP. as Name based virtual hosts is not possible with SSL.

it is part from timvw site:
http://timvw.madoka.be/phpmyadmin

this link takes you into phpmyadmin via https connection and i think it stays so during entire session.
I want to have same functionality :roll:
