enable SSL on checkout and registration

Does nopCommerce have an easy way to configure SSL for checkout, registration, and login?  Thank you.

Have you purchased any SSL Certification service yet ?

In order to use SSL Certification service, SSL needs to be installed on your hosting server

To configure :

1. Open web.config file
2. Find 'UseSSL' attribute
3. Set its value to true

Do you have to recompile the files after this?

yes after you enable the SSL, re-build your project/solution

No it works just fine, and only for areas needing secure access. Thanks alot.

It's always better to re-build your project, to avoid future application breakage (By re-building the project, all the dll files gets refreshed and new added code generated new dlls too)

Kersha:
no need to recompile after changing the web.config unless the config is encrypted which in versions up to 1.4 anyway it has not been. Have not checked into 1.5 yet.

A note to Andrei,

I think this ought to go in the User Manual.
And, ideally there ought to be a way to say if you are using https.
In fact, is it even reasonable that NopCommerce should attempt to checkout, without using an SSL connection?

So, a checkbox to say 'Use SSL Checkout', otherwise display an enormous message to the visitor to say this is NOT A SECURE CHECKOUT.
(Like you haven't already got enough to do)

Best Regards and Many Thanks As Always
