gple Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I am building an online store. How do I go about making the checkout pages secure (it https://). Any hints on where to start looking into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjxx Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 buy a SSL certificate some hosting companies let you use their shared ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gple Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 I believe the server I am using has this. How can I test to see if it does support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Go to https://YOUR DOMAIN HERE and see what happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gple Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 I get: You have attempted to establish a connection with "DOMAIN.COM". However, the security certificate presented belongs to "Web Host.com". It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your communication with website. If you suspect the certificate shown does not belong to "Domain.com", please cancel the connections and notify the site administrator. What does this all mean.

Jessica Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I think it means you need to do some research on ssl certs. and possibly contact web host.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gple Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 I guess what I am trying to get at is this: I have a website created for online shopping (tables with products and customer information). How can I guarantee that the credit card information that they put into the system is not going to be hacked into. Should I create a customer table with all the information except the credit card info and have them put the credit card information in every time they want to purchase a product?

Jessica Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 That is a lot different than your original question about https:// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gple Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 OK. I figured that the checkout was done in the Https:// section. I am confused by all of this. Is there a website or something I can look into on how this all done safely and securely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
