SSL Help Please!
I've been looking all over the forums and google for some time now and I can't figure out what I need to know about SSL Certificates. I understand that the server is set to automatically access a port when a visitor is accessing the https:// of my site and that it automatically encrypts and decrypts the sent information. My question is: do I need to modify my code at all? Will all transmitted data be safe, or do I have to add specific encryption functions? For example - to submit information to a database. thanks!

If you server is already configured with SSL then all you need to do is specify "https://" in the URLs in you HTML. Have you tried it? Does your browser show the page is secure when you do?

SSL is handled by apache - you shouldn't need to modify your code at all. As for certificates, I have no idea how to use them. They need to be installed on your webserver per domain, I think I followed a tutorial once somewhere to generate one.

Yes, the locked image appears. I just wanted to know if I had to make any changes to my code - apparently not! Thanks!

Re: SSL Help Please!
using only https:// uses the ssl
i meant we should not use any ssl code ?for example openSLL functions in order to process the publick and private keys?
