force ssl on back-end panel - pros and cons?
| Posted by H396347, 06-08-2011, 10:44 PM |
| Hi,
a. I see I have an option to choose forcing ssl in the back-end panel of magento (e-commerce), its not enabled by default so I'm sure there are sides that I don't understand right now.
What are the pros and cons for this options?
b. Next month I need to re-active the ssl certification and GoDaddy offers 2 kinds of certifications, regular for 50$ and an "enhanced" one that they advice for e-commerce, for 100$.
I don't mind to pay the extra 50 $ a year, I just don't understand what is the different and what they "give" me for this price, the certificate isn't manage/create the encryption so I believe technically the security will be the same. Right?
Thank you!

| Hi
Pro's - looks more professional
con's may make your site run a little slower.
As for SSL certs, you can get them a lot cheaper than 50 USD, but then again it depends on what you want from it, I assume a seal to proof to customers you have a SSL cert ?
Thanks

| pros: you're doing e-commerce if you're not enforcing 100% ssl you have issues
cons: none

| Do you think I should/can force SSL in every product/regular page in my e-commerce? because right now I think the only "front-end" encrypted page is the checkout process.
Thanks!

| any page requested while being logged in should probably be https'd, cookies should be secureonly, etc..
