Secure registration/login?

I have been using Zen-cart for nearly a year now and after reviewing some of my visitor sessions, it seems as if people are not wanting to register since the registration/login page is not secure. My site is setup for SSL, and the SSL kicks in once you do register or login and continue to checkout, but I'm sure it probably makes people nervous inputting their personal information or password when the page isnt secure.

Is there a way to make the registration/ login page secure? Is it not possible, or am I missing something? Thanks.

If you have purchased a SSL Certificate, and the certificate has been installed on your server (check with your host), then setting up your site to invoke SSL when necessary is simply a matter of changing some settings in your two configure.php files...

includes/configure.php

and

admin/includes/configure.php

You will probably need to re-set permissions (CHMOD) on these files if this is set to 444, before you will be "allowed" to edit them.

Remember to edit files using a proper text editor (such as notepad++, or Crimson Editor).

When set up, SSL will invoke at all stages where personal data transfer takes place.
