Newbie Q: Building a webstore and need to have SLL-encryption on the checkout pages... I have no previous experience with SSL. I understand that I need a SSL-certificate. I''m planning on purchasing the cert from RapidSSL, but to do that I need to generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request). How do I do that? How do I install the certificate on the server? Are there any guides on this topic? How do I configure rails for SSL? I''m feeling a bit lost here... OS: win xp pro rails: 1.1.2 ruby 1.8.2 lighttpd scgi -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I''ve not done it with lighty, but with Apache it''s a breeze. Just google "apache ssl install" or a variant and you should get far. Also, if you''re building a web store, at least check out Substruct as a base to start from. http://dev.subimage.com/projects/substruct/ On 5/30/06, Daniel <big@chello.se> wrote:> > Newbie Q: > > Building a webstore and need to have SLL-encryption on the checkout > pages... > I have no previous experience with SSL. > > I understand that I need a SSL-certificate.

You''ll want to ask these sorts of questions somewhere else (such as the lighttpd list, but help on generating CSRs is off-topic there, too). By the time the HTTP data gets to Rails, all the SSL magic should have been done and dusted. Practically, I think most of your support questions should be asked of your chosen CA. They''re the ones taking your money, after all. - Matt -- "I''m tempted to try Gentoo, but...
