Vedat Gurtan Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 Hi, Is there a way to setup a masked redirection using CPanel? I have been playing around unsuccesfully to setup a redirection to the shared SSL order form on my website. What I indended to do was creating a subdomain as secureorder.****, redirect it to the secure order form at TCH https://server10.TCH/~username/order.html, and only secureorder.**** would show on the browser. instead of https://server10.TCH....

Frylock Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 Well you could use html and have the https load up in one giant frame (that the subdomain links to). But the problem there is you don't get that reassuring 'lock' at the bottom of your browser. Maybe you can do a permanent redirect of site.com/secure to it (Redirect permanent /secure https...) and just have the subdomain redirect there? Or wait for someone who knows what they are doing to reply. (recommended) Quote
Lianna Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 Beyond what Frylock has suggested, you can also purchase your own certificate and have it installed for your domain. I realize that it isn't as *cheap* as using the shared cert, but it will get the address bar issue resolved. Quote
Ayman_ Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 The issue with frylocks workaround would be the cert warning that the users browser would display. Bottom line is this. If your going to do e-commerce over the internet buy your own SSL. Visitors will not trust things and will not order once they get the warning. I am with lstover on this one. Buy the cert and make it 100% Quote
Vedat Gurtan Posted August 17, 2003 Author Posted August 17, 2003 Hi, Thanks everyone. I tried, but it didn't work with redirect, and it doesn't show the padlock under frames. Right now I will manage with shared SSL, it actually doesn't warn me when I get to the order form about the certificate. If $ 85 was only for one time fee it would be ok. But renewing the certificate every year could be costly. Best Regards, Vedat Gurtan Quote
Lianna Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 Right now I will manage with shared SSL, it actually doesn't warn me when I get to the order form about the certificate. That warning would happen if you chose to use the *one giant frame* idea posted earlier. Quote
TCH-JimE Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Hi, And it will warn you when you submit anything under the certificate. I am with Li and Spitwad on this, I would never buy on a Shared SSL just because and besides if you getting loads of money from whatever your selling, then you should be able to get the cert!
