When a Proxy server is used in front of an application server and
all connections coming from the web to the uStore server are routed through
the Proxy server, the SSL certificate must be installed on both uStore
and Proxy servers.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is used to ensure that information added to uStore is secure. You need to install and configure SSL to be able to use the secure options.
In the Security Options (SSL) section, specify how to use the SSL protocol to secure the information users enter into your online stores (for example, login or payment details).
Securing uStore using SSL requires one of the following certificates, depending on the number of domains you want to secure:
· A regular SSL certificate – secures a single domain. This certificate is useful for securing a single store, or several stores that share the same domain name, but differ by their sub-folder name.
· A Multi Domain SSL certificate – secures multiple domains. This certificate is useful for securing several stores that have different domain names (friendly URLs).
Once you have installed and configured SSL on your website’s Internet Information Server (IIS), you can configure it in uStore by choosing one of the options below.
When a Proxy server is used in front of an application server and
all connections coming from the web to the uStore server are routed through
the Proxy server, the SSL certificate must be installed on both uStore
and Proxy servers.
To set security options:
In the Security Options (SSL) section, select one of the following options:
· Not Secured - if you do not want the store to be secured by SSL. This option is useful while you are working offline and are in the process of setting up the store. Once you make the store available online, make sure you change this setting to Secure All.
· Secure All - to secure all pages in this store. This configuration may slow down the page loading.
Important! The
system does not support having both secured and non-secured stores on
the same domain/sub-domain.
If you have both secured and non-secured stores on the same domain/sub-domain,
please change the non-secured ones to be secured (or vice versa, although
not recommended), or shoppers may have a problem accessing them.
Note: When creating and testing a new store using localhost, disable HTTPS and use HTTP only, since HTTPS does not support localhost. When testing an online store, duplicate it, disable HTTPS and use HTTP on the duplicated store. Then, apply your changes to the original store and delete the duplicated store.
