I'm planning on setting up a small E Commerce site with the Commerce Kickoff distribution - D7.x. I have been researching it, but not finding any information on SSL. A forum search produces a module called SecurePages, but it is still in beta with nothing new posted since 2006.

I've done plenty of Drupal sites, but never had to use SSL. Is there anything I need to do in Drupal to use a SSL cert on my website? I'm not asking how to set one up - just wondering if there is necessary configuration steps to perform. The SecurePages module looks like a no-go.

Thanks.

That's not correct. The beta was rolled on 06NOV2013.

If you're looking to make the entire site https, no module is necessary.

To add to this, I recommend putting the entire site behind SSL. First off, it's much, much easier to configure than trying to set up individual pages, and next, it adds a layer of privacy for the end user. You can see sites like Google and Yahoo, and even here on Drupal.org, are putting their entire sites behind SSL.
