| What's
SSL? |
Using
SSL Certificates to secure your online
transactions tells your customers that
you take their security seriously.
They will visibly see that their
online transaction will be secure,
confidential and integral and all this
gives them the confidence that you
have removed the risk associated with
trading over the Internet.

| What's
SSI? |
SSI
(Server Side Includes) are directives
that are placed within HTML pages, and
evaluated on the server while the
pages are being served. They let you
add dynamically generated content to
an existing HTML page without having
to serve the entire page via a CGI
program or other dynamic technology.
The decision whether to use or not use
SSI, and whether to have your page
entirely generated by some program, is
usually a matter of how much of the
page is static, and how much needs to
be recalculated every time the page is
served. SSI is a great way to add
small pieces of information, such as
the current time. But if a majority of
your page is being generated at the
time that it is served, you need to
look for some other solution.

| How
to use SSI? |
Basic
SSI directives - SSI directives have
the following syntax:
It is formatted like an HTML comment,
so if you don't have SSI correctly
enabled, the browser will ignore it,
but it will still be visible in the
HTML source. If you have SSI correctly
configured, the directive will be
replaced with its results.
The element can be one of a number of
things, and we'll talk some more about
most of these in the next installment
of this series. For now, here are some
examples of what you can do with SSI
Today's date
The echo element just spits out the
value of a variable. There are a
number of standard variables, which
include the whole set of environment
variables that are available to CGI
programs. Also, you can define your
own variables with the set element.
If you don't like the format in which
the date gets printed, you can use the
config element, with a timefmt
attribute, to modify that formatting.
Today is
Modification date of the file
This document last modified
This element is also subject to
timefmt format configurations.
Including the results of a CGI program
This is one of the more common uses of
SSI - to output the results of a CGI
program, such as everybody's favorite,
a ``hit counter.''

| Step-By-Step
Guide - How to Set up a working SSL
virtual host? |
Important:
You must add static IP address to your
account in order to have
SSL-sertificate. You can get an IP
from the Control Panel.
In order to create a working SSL vhost
you must do the following:
1. From the Web Control Panel go to
'Manage SSL vhosts'.
2. Select 'Upload Certificate' and add
your information to generate a new
certificate.
3. Fill in your details correctly.
Important: When you generated
the CSR you were asked to enter the
name of your organization. Please
enter the name exactly as it appears
in your Proof of Organization.
Processing may be delayed if the name
in your CSR is not identical to the
name in your Proof of Organization.
4. A new 'yourSSLvhost.csr' file will
be generated in the /SYS/CERTS/
directory of your account - this is
your CSR (Certificate Signing
Request).
5. Download this file and send it to
your SSL validation company for
signing. Our server is Apache Mod SSL.
You can view or edit the files
using Notepad. You can access the
/SYS/CERTS/ directory using FTP.
6. After they sign your CSR they will
send it back to you. You must upload
it again.
7. In the same directory there will be
another file - 'yourSSLvhost.pem'.
Open this file with Notepad.
8. You must replace the second part of
the .pem file with your signed CSR
information.
Inside the /sys/certs/.pem file:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
upload CSR information here
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

| Another
description of SSL: |
Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) provides a secure
web connection to the end user. A
secure connection means two things:
(1) no one can snoop the connection
between your browser and our server
and (2) your visitors receive
assurance through a SSL certificate
that the web site is who they say they
are. A web site's SSL certificate is
signed by a trusted external
authority. The SSL certificate is
encoded with the country, state, city,
and organization of the people running
a particular web site. There are fees
associated with this type of
certificate. There are also
self-signed certificates that can be
used for free. These SSL certificate
have not been signed by an external
authority and they are no guarantee to
a user that you are who you say you
are; however, they still provide the
same 128-bit encryption as signed
certificates.
