Custom form and HTTPS

rajg · September 1, 2008, 3:40am

Sorry if this has been discussed in an old thread…

Is it possible to secure just a custom form within a site?

Thanks.

Sure. Just go to the settings screen of your custom form asset, and set it to force secure. Then, when you access that page, it will always load using https

Hi,

I tried to do what you suggested, but when I applied the setting, the page couldn't be displayed/not found, and also the link in the navigation didn't change to "https://…"

Am I missing something?

I tried to read the manual, but there is no detail explanation about this topic.

Thanks

Do you have an SSL certificate installed and configured in Apache?

Yes we do and still valid till next year.

I can open a non mysource matrix page in a secure connection (https://site.com/static/page.html),

But failed to open a mysource matrix page (https://site.com/matrix/page2)

And when I looked at the navigation menu that was created by mysource matrix, I thought the menu should change to https, but it didn't.

The menu still linked to http://site.com/matrix/page2 (even when I put /_nocache)

Then I manually added https in the address, page still not open/found.

I think it opened the 404 page not found (for both http and https).

I have to ask someone who install the system, as I'm just an administrator of my site only.

Is there anyway I can check from the admin site of mySource Matrix?

Thanks

This can only be checked by a sysadmin.

But also is your site set up with a HTTPS url? and is the HTTPS url in the base url on the system config page?

Also you need to check the URLs screen of your site asset, your URLS need to be set for HTTS there as well.

Sorry, I'm very new at Matrix and this is my first site in Matrix.

How can I check this?

Is this something that sysadmin should check?

Edit:

Perhaps I should mention this.

I have a site that has been set up to allow all protocols (in settings) as weel as the entire assets under it.

I just want one page (custom form) which need a secure connection.

The rest of the pages will be using normal connection.

Is it possible to do this with mysouce matrix?

Thanks
