How To Set Up A Secure Socket Layer (ssl) Into Your Website? Hope somebody gives a quick tutorial to add SSL to a website

Could anyone give a link or any information of the steps to do, towards implementing SSL into a website?? I looked everywhere in this forum, and I could not find an understandable step by step list...I think we all will be highly thankful if somebody gives us some light into this topic..thanks

I'd be more intrested in https than actual ssl, like could we get unsecure https hosting here?

could you explain the difference..and in what mean would that be better for us ??

True ssl means buying a ssl certificate(and I've never seen it on free hosting), but what I'm suggesting is just letting us use https/443, probably as a copy of http.

What's the point of using port 443 then? You're just going to confuse people because they'll type https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/ and get an apache error, and nobody is going to want to type https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/ to get the job done. Insecure as it is, shared SSL would be easier to set up, so that you actually *get* SSL on 443.

I would *love* to see this; not so much for an e-business perspective, but so I could use basic HTTP authentication without worrying about it on insecure networks so I could perform administrative functions on my site.

well, since our host support mod_rewrite, i can just mod_rewrite all https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/ to go to https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/

 

i have never tried it yet but i have tested in using all https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/ traffic to go to https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/..
