USING AN INDIVIDUAL SSL CERTIFICATE<br />

Although most hosts offer shared SSL resources, you can also purchase your own SSL<br />

certificate from a company such as Thawte or Verisign. This is simplest and, over time, the<br />

most economical form of SSL security. <strong>StoreFront</strong> <strong>Support</strong> strongly recommends that you<br />

purchase your own SSLS certificate. You should contact your host to determine their preference<br />

and to coordinate the process of obtaining the certificate.<br />

Once the SSL certificate has been obtained, your host can apply it to your site. The SSL<br />

protocol will become available on your entire domain. Follow the instructions below to configure<br />

your site to use an individual SSL certificate.<br />

1. Connect to your database using the Store Builder. If you are unsure of how to do<br />

this, please refer to Connecting to a Remote or Local Database, page 21, for further<br />

instructions.<br />

2. Open the Web Manager and click on the General tab. Make sure that the Secure<br />

Directory Path is the complete URL to process_order.asp in your SSL folder. Also<br />

make sure that it uses an https:// prefix.<br />

3. Save your changes to these settings by clicking File, then Save before closing the<br />

Web Manager.<br />

4. Open your web in FrontPage, then open the SSL/SFLib folder by double-clicking it.<br />

You should see a file called db.conn.open.asp. Right-click on this file and select<br />

Open with. Open the file using Notepad and locate this line:<br />

Session(“DSN_Name”) = “Type Your DSN Here”<br />

Enter your DSN within the quotes, replacing “Type Your DSN Here.”<br />
