The SSL Manager allows you to set up our generic SSL certificate on your domain
To set up the SSL certificate, select the "Use generic SSL Certificate (free) " radio button from the "SSL Manager" page and click the "Next" button . You will be prompted to confirm installation. Click the "Next" button to complete the operation. This will set up our generic SSL certificate on your domain. The result of operation will be displayed on the "SSL Manager" page. The result includes the name of the directories you have to use for secure content and a link to your secure site. The two directories are called "secure" and "secure-cgi-bin". Your secure content can be accessed at:
https://www.securewebexchange.com/your domain/
Click the "Finish" button to exit SSL Manager.
Securewebexchange.com
The domain www.securewebexchange.com is a browser's access point to your secure content. The secure and secure-cgi-bin directories are used to store your secure content and are accessible via FTP and the WebsiteOS File Manager. As these directories exist outside of your public directory, they cannot be directly accessed by a web browser. As noted in the above paragraph, the securewebexchange.com domain is used by a browser to view your secure content.
Implementation examples
These examples use a fictitious domain called "bobscars.com" and assume that the SSL Manager has been run to set up the domain on securewebexchange.
To view a secure order form called "order.html", the order.html file is uploaded to the bobscars.com "secure" directory. Users of the form will access it via the securewebexchange.com domain at: https://www.securewebexchange.com/bobscars.com/order.html.
To use a secure CGI called "process.cgi" to process the order form, the process.cgi file is uploaded to the bobscars.com secure-cgi-bin directory. Within the "order.html" page, the CGI is called from the form tag:
<form action="https://www.securewebexchange.com/bobscars.com/cgi-bin/process.cgi" method="post" >
Please note that you do not have File Manager or FTP access to the securewebexchange.com domain. All secure content changes MUST be done via your domain's secure and secure-cgi-bin directories.
Repairing the secure directories
If you delete the secure directory, the secure site will not be accessible. You will need to re-install the SSL certificate in order to access your secure site again. If you delete your secure-cgi-bin directory, you can view your secure site but need to reinstall the SSL certificate in order to re-create the secure-cgi-bin directory and have it linked to the secure site. In the event that you delete one of these directories unintentionally, you can contact us in order to restore the files inside the directories.
