    Hi .

    I would like to make the login area of my website more secure by means of an SSL protocol (https://).

    Can anyone here give any guidance, links, advice etc in relation to doing this from scratch without any experience or solid info.

    thanks.

    finn.

    First you need to get a SSL certificate then depending on the language you use you set the http to https

    example in php:
    [php]
    //change page to secure
    function secure_page() {
    if ( !isset($_SERVER) || strtolower($_SERVER) != 'on' ) {
    header ('Location: https://'.$_SERVER.$_SERVER);
    exit();
    }
    }
    # end when you want to change to https:// just call the function at the
    #top of the page
    secure_page();
    [/php]
