I just went through the tutorial about setting up SSL and it seems to be working fine. However I have a question about the settings for admin/includes/configure.php. After setting the proper https information for HTTPS_SERVER and for HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER the next lines of code read:
// Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'false');
At this point I have not changed either of those from 'false' to 'true' in the admin/includes/configure.php file...though of course I changed the ENABLE_SSL from false to true in the includes/configure.php file. And as far as I can tell my website is running fine.
Can anyone explain what is gained/lost by changing either or both of those items from false to true in the admin/includes/configure.php file?
Thanks
