SSL installed and working but Admin not using SSL

[bitznbytes]

Hi, I"ve got SSL installed and working but the 'Admin Section' does not seem to be using SSL. I can manually put in the https: and it will work, but all links within the Admin are still pointing to http: Would anyone have any suggestions?

Did you edit configure.php?

Specifically the URL of your admin? Like change:

 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yoursite.com'); 
  

change to

 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.yoursite.com');

A lot of people have problems with the little "You are not protected by a secure SSL connection." box with the unclosed lock gif. If that's what you are referring to, check the actual browser locks and if those are ok, then you have nothing to worry about-the page is secure no matter what that little box below the "statitics" says. There is a mod to fix the graphic in the osCommerce contributions if it starts to bug you.

Autoegocrat - I don't think that is this persons problem - the links in ADMIN are http://... and wants https://.... Not a browser problem

Just only log into admin using the https:// prefix and it will show locked

https://www.mysite.com/admin

Also since so many people know oscommerce and oscmax you may want to change the name of your folder from admin to something only you would know. You would also have to change it in admin/includes/config.php to reach it
If you really want to be secure then thru cpanel password protect that directory and you will have 2 logins


then if you
