    Default SSL installed but only partly functional

    I'm currently working on setting up security on a zen-cart installation (1.3.7).

    I've installed a certificate on my server (I'm using self-signed certs, created via openSSL. Everything is running on a Windows IIS installation.)

    Now, from the looks of things, you can force the login screens to use SSL; however, all remaining functionality uses regular sockets.

    Is there a way to make the admin modules use SSL for everything? (Right now, whenever I access any admin menu functions it uses http:// instead of https://.)

    Your installation is working properly. More pages in the Admin will be SSL in the future. You do not want to run everythin under SSL or it will be slower than molasses
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    Thanks. (I did find a way to run it with everything encrypted by changing the 'define('HTTP_SERVER', '...');' entry, but if its going to cause a big performance hit, I won't bother.)
