sharred ssl and oscommerce

[Wonderer]

Question for you all. I have a secure site setup with proper certs on unix. What i need to know is how is the best way to utilize it. Are their perticular files/directories or forwards i need to copy? I assume the idea is they do their orders on the main customer site, then when they go to complete the transaction it does this part on the shared ssl?

It's up to you which files to secure. So long as your ssl cert. covers the entire domain that you want to have secure files, you just make sure the links to those pages begin with https:// instead of http:// -

Is that what you were wondering? I'm not all that familiar with oscommerce, so I can't answer directly to that.

i was looking just to store the checkout and customer info parts on my site and the rest i'd leave on the customers.

then just use https:// for those particular pages, and leave the rest alone.

I'll play around with Oscommerce to see if I can see any trouble with this.

I added an oscommerce account to a Windows domain I have that already has a working SSL cert installed, and it automatically used the https:// when I go to checkout, so it looks like so long as you have a cert on that domain (https://yourdomain.com) you should be set.

Any other questions, just ask.

What if I have a SSL on https://mydomain.com and my customer has a oscommerce cart setup at http://customerdomain.com and I want the user to be redirected to https://secure.mydomain.com/customer/files.php when time comes for them to checkout, is this possible at all?

[Silverbug]

technicaly yes this is possible(anything is possible isnt it? ). practicly no, it would involve changeing the oscommerce cart quite a bit to get this to work.
