This window defines SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) options. SSL is a protocol layer placed between a reliable connection-oriented network protocol layer (TCP/IP) and an application protocol layer (HTTP). An administrator may enable SSL for two areas: Login Validation and Checkout. By default, these options are disabled during installation.
Enabling SSL provides extra security for the site by encrypting information. This security is especially important at checkout, where users may enter credit card information.
Note: These options only apply to non-iPart based websites, like the Public view. Enable SSL for iPart built sites at the content record level: for any content record that contains an iPart that you want to operate using SSL, enable the Content is secure (https://) property.
From System Setup, select Set up web components > SSL configuration.
Use SSL security for checkout (only applies to non-iPart based websites)
When selected, iMIS uses SSL for all shopping activities from the Public view. You must have copied your SSL certificate to the server and ensured that IIS is set up properly.
Note: When you select this option, SSL is enabled for both the Public view (iMISPublic) and the Web view (iMIS). If you have iMISPublic installed on a separate webserver from iMIS webapp, then you need to install an SSL certificate on both servers if you wish to use the checkout feature on both the Web view and the Public view.
Use SSL security for logon (only applies to non-iPart based websites)
When selected, iMIS uses SSL for creating new accounts and after a member is logged on to the Public view all HTTP requests use an SSL layer.
