Hi,

I know this has been asked before, largely with regards to the Drupal 5 version and none of which I can see ahve been resolved, well not with a solution that works for me.

I have a shared SSL that I am attempting to get working. So I installed this module, and set-up the base urls in the config page (see screenshot).

Non Secure - http://www.mysite.co.uk
secure - http://secure.myhost.com/~myusername

Even after entering the details the enabled radio is still greyed out. So the question is How do I use this module with Shared SSL's?

Cheers,
Nick

I'm having the same exact problem

Been reading around and found nothing so far. I'll post if I find anything.

The button is supposed to be active only when you enter admin/build/securepages from the SSLed URI.
But people don't seem to get Shared SSL working, still, as this issue shows: http://drupal.org/node/65890

Nick,

I indeed have asked for that to be fixed... a while back. 8-)

It still isn't, though. The module has not been touched for 6 months.

There is a way to go around this problem.

The idea is that you have to first log in your secure site, then it skips the secure test altogether. I don't recall reading that anywhere in the documentation.

When you first log in your non-secure website, go to the Secure Pages with a non-secure HTTP request, that's when that "random" test is done and fails when the URLs do not match 1 to 1. (i.e. http://www.m2osw.com and https://secure.m2osw.com have a different URL...)

So... in my case, I would have had to go to https://secure.m2osw.com and the problem would have been solved.

gordon, would it be possible for you to write that on the front page? So silly guys like us know that it makes sense to start from the secure site instead of the non-secure?

Thank you.

Hi Alexis,

I did try that myself but it didn't work on my site. Maybe something to do with the address which in my case is not the same as style as yours.

Non Secure - http://www.mysite.co.uk
secure - https://secure.myhost.com/~myusername

I will have a play on a fresh install and just double check though.

Has anyone tried patch 1557 (1577-https_8.patch) ?

Alexis,

Sorry about the lack of detail. Here is the link to the note I was referring:

http://drupal.org/node/1577

It looks like you were involved in the posts. Sorry I didn't notice that sooner. Have you been able to confirm if the patch has been incorporated in Drupal 7? I am very much intersted in using SSL for my site not so much for e-commerce but to make it more difficult for hackers. I've spent several hours searching the Drupal forums and it looks like I'll have to wait for Drupal 7 before I can start using SSL with my site. Please respond if you learn of any other alternatives. Thanks!
