wilna Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi, my php knowledge is quite basic. I have a basic login page where the users can log in. We are going to store sensitive info in the table now and I need to create a https / secure login script. I have no idea where to start. Can anybody point me to a good tutorial?

premiso Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 What platform is your server on? As with Linux / Debian the SSL is actually really simple and I am sure you can find many tutorials on this. I have never done this on Windows, which may be a bit more intuitive from what I have heard. Doing it with Debian goes like: apt-get install openssl Modify apache proxy list to include 443 (if it is not in there) Create a self-signed cert (or get a digital signed one from a site) modify vhosts of site, add a <VirtualHost IP:443> add the items to turn the SSL Engine on and link to your certificate. Restart apache and viola. Like I said, there are a bit of tutorials on how to do this widely available. Given that you did not state your platform, you will want to search for platform / server (as you failed to state whether you are using apache or not as well).

wilna Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thank you so much for the reply. We are using a hosting company and I talked to them and they will supply me with a SSl certificate.
