SSL Setup

[mattsoundworld]

Hello all,

I just bought an SSL cert from RapidSSL (following the instructions from DASP), installed it thru DASP, DASP doesnt seem to have a problem with it.

At the risk of sounding like a complete noob with security, what next?

When I check the site, there is no verification bar in the browser, nothing came up saying this was a secure connection, nothing.

So question 1a would be how do I know it's working (or if its not, for that matter), and question 1b would be if I were to set up a WCF wsHttpBinding that uses Certificates, how would I find out what to feed the client certificate (X509 thing, I'm assuming).

My Google and DASP-Fu are usually pretty handy, but this time I'm coming up empty.

Any tips, hints, links, or eye-opening 'YOU'RE AN IDIOT's would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

You would use the URL: https://<whatever you chose as the common name> to secure your site. You only want the user to get to the secure pages that you want to secure, so just make sure your web site links to the https:// url of the pages that you want to secure. For example, our website http://discountasp.net/, hover over the Sign Up link and you'll see that we are linking to the secure order form with https:// - we don't need to secure the entire public site, just the order form.

Well, question 1a was simple :)

I checked it out and everything seems to be operating like it should.

Much Appreciated,

Matt
